1 Académie Française
The French Academy is an academy of letters, whose main function is to monitor and prescribe the development of the French language. It was founded in 1635 during the reign of King Louis XIII. It is a self-perpetuating Academy, with forty members, known as " les Imortelles". Academicians are elected for life by the other Academicians. The Acadamy publishes an official dictionary of the French language, but its opinions are not always respected even by the writers of official documents. In recent years, the Academy has been slow to adapt to the changes in the French language resulting from the influence of English and American, and of youth culture in general. It has fought a rearguard but generally unsuccessful action to preserve the French language from contamination by English; some successes have however been marked up, such as the replacement of " une pipeline" by " un oléoduc" (once the main word to describe a pipeline, "pipeline" has virtually disappeared from modern French), or - to a lesser extent - " hit parade", which now coexists with " palmarès".Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

( = circonscription) regional education authority━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━For educational administration purposes, France is divided into areas known as académies, each administered by a « recteur d'académie ». Allocation of teaching posts is centralized, so that newly qualified teachers often begin their careers in académies other than the one in which they originally lived.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Founded by Cardinal Richelieu in 1634, this prestigious learned society has forty elected life members, commonly known as « les Immortels ». They meet in a building on the quai Conti in Paris. The building's ornate dome has given rise to the expression « être reçu sous la coupole », meaning to be admitted as a member of the Académie française.

5 Collège de France
Founded by François I in 1530, located close to the Sorbonne in Paris, the Collège de France is an academy of learning which is outside the normal education system. It provides a programme of lectures and seminars conducted by some of the greatest academics in France, but open to the public. It does not deliver any degrees or diplomas. Members are elected for life from among leading academics, and the title Professeur au Collège de France is the highest distinction possible in French academia.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.
