On the verge of the twentieth century, in the midst of an ever increasing antagonism among the great powers in the Balkans, the absence in Greece of a formal instruction for teachers of French was considered by the French cultural diplomacy as a serious obstacle towards realizing the latter{\textquoteright}s linguistic political agenda in the area. For thirty years, the French Archaeological School {\textendash} a cultural institution founded in Greece in 1846 aiming, among other things, to promote the French language through Education {\textendash} conducted negotiations with the Greek government in order to undertake the responsibility of professionally training Greek teachers of the French Language. This French pursuit was finally realized by the 1930 law, which created the first relevant Greek-French formation structure and assigned the monopoly of organizing specialization courses to the educational branch of the French Archaeological School, the French Institute.
