Pierre leMoyne, Sieur D'Iberville founded the first permanent French settlement in Vieux Biloxi (known today as Ocean Springs, Mississippi) in 1699.
He was looking for the mouth of the Mississippi to connect to the Acadian (Canada) colonies and secure all the areas in between for France and King Louis XIV.
The purpose of the AATF is to promote and enhance the teaching of the French language and culture throughout Mississippi and the entire United States.
We would like to add new members so we will be able to grow and expand by forming an e-mail list of French teachers in Mississippi.
New: Send your pictures and we'll add them to our new photo gallery!
