The Académie Française[a] (French pronunciation:[akademifʁɑ̃sɛːz]), also known as the French Academy, is the principal French council for matters pertaining to the French language.
The Académie was officially established in 1635 by Cardinal Richelieu, the chief minister to King Louis XIII.[1] Suppressed in 1793 during the French Revolution, it was restored as a division of the Institut de France in 1803 by Napoleon Bonaparte.[1] It is the oldest of the five académies of the institute.
