The building was located near Kigali City roundabout, opposite the Kiyovu neighborhood. It was closed and demolished in 2014 due to the under-use of the land and building.
“Together with the French embassy in Kigali, we are discussing on how to bring back the French Cultural Centre. This might not include the action of rebuilding the house but together we are looking for a place where they can operate from, which will be very soon. They are appreciating some of the buildings, and we are helping them to see if the areas are suitable for their activities”, said Marie Chantal Rwakazina, Mayor of Kigali City during a press conference.
Before its demolition, Centre d’Echange Culturels Franco-Rwandais had facilities such as a library and could host French lectures, seminars about culture and small concerts.
