A close partnership between planetariums and astronomers allows the public better access to the results of the astronomical research through high quality audiovisual tools. The French-speaking planetariums have shared their areas of expertise, their different approaches and techniques and their resources since 1984. They created the Association of French Language Planetariums (APLF) in 1989, with a head office located at the Observatory/University of Strasbourg in collaboration with teachers and astronomers. The French Planetariums welcome ~1,300,000 visitors per year, 65 % of which come from schools. APLF comprises about thirty fixed structures, 70 small and portable planetariums, and ten French-speaking Planetariums: Brussels and Genk (Belgium), Brescia (Italy), Lafayette (the USA), Lucerne (Swiss), Montreal (Canada), Tunis. APLF wish to develop planetariums in France and beyond in order to diffuse scientific knowledge towards a large audience and especially towards young people.
