This program is intended for artists and cultural professionals who have been living abroad for at least five years and who wish to carry out a research and creative project in Paris during a residency of three, six, or nine months, between April 2026 and April 2027.
Each year, thanks to this initiative, the Institut français enables nearly 70 laureates from around the world to develop a research and creative project—across all artistic disciplines—at the Cité internationale des arts, located in the heart of Paris.
Applications must be supported by one or more partner organizations (such as the French cultural network abroad or French/international cultural institutions), which assist the artists with their application and cover international travel expenses and residency grants.
The Institut français provides residents with free accommodation in a studio-apartment at the Cité internationale des arts. They also benefit from both individual and group support by the Institut français and the Cité internationale des arts, including one-on-one meetings, project follow-up, group programming, cultural events, access to artistic facilities, and more.

Starting this Monday, don’t miss the launch of "Petit Kouadjo", the brand-new animated series directed by Antoine ONOMO, a rising talent from Cameroon who’s definitely one to watch! The show will air on Canal+ Family Centre and Ouest, and will also be available for streaming on MyCanal.
The series takes us into the daily life of Petit Kouadjo, a lively, curious, and lovable young boy who discovers the world with endless mischief and charm. Blending humor, family values, and cultural exploration, the show promises to captivate both kids and adults alike.
This marks Antoine ONOMO’s very first animated series to air on television, a long-awaited dream come true after years of dedication and hard work. With "Petit Kouadjo", ONOMO becomes the second Cameroonian director to have one of his animated series broadcast regionally on the Canal+ bouquet—a major step forward for the Cameroonian animation industry.
It’s also worth noting that "Petit Kouadjo" is produced by Ivorian producer Ferdinand MESSAN, founder of Neuronn Communication, a production company committed to promoting African talent and fresh, youth-focused storytelling.
