Established in 1795, the Institut de France is a beacon of French intellectual achievement, bringing together the nation's scientific, literary, and artistic elite to advance the sciences and arts, foster independent thought, and advise the government. This prestigious mission earned it the nickname 'Parliament of the Learned World.' Protected by the President of the Republic, the institution sits on the Quai de Conti in Paris's 6th arrondissement.
