The Acad\u00e9mie fran\u00e7aise does not belong only to the Parisians; it belongs to all francophones around the world, from Port-au-Prince to Brussels, from Algiers to Quebec City, and in all francophone communities across Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3956973\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It was a great honour for Quebec and for Haiti when, in 2013, Dany Laferri\u00e8re received the highest honour in the French language to become the first Quebecker and the first Haitian to be elected to the Acad\u00e9mie fran\u00e7aise. Long live the Acad\u00e9mie fran\u00e7aise.</p>",
