A new reading room and bookshop, Albertine Books in French and English, opened in September 2014 at the French Embassy in New York with 14,000 titles from 30 French-speaking countries.
With hand-picked titles by Albertine staff and the French Embassy Books Department, a new program, "French Corners" seeks to promote French literature across the United States. Bookstores that have been chosen to participate in "French Corners" can be found in Washington, D.C., Boston, Miami, Houston, Portland, Chicago and....Arnaudville, Louisiana!
