The French École of Rome (EFR) is a French institute of research in Histoire, Archéologie and social sciences.

It is the heiress of the archaeological Institute of correspondence, created in 1829 to accommodate the foreign scientists with Rome. Gathering mainly of the French and Germans, the Institute disappears with the Franco-German Guerre from 1870. Create for themselves on its ashes the German archaeological Institute (in 1871) then a Roman section of the French École of Athens (in 1873). In 1875 finally, the latter becomes the French School of Rome.

Since 1876, it occupies the Palais Farnèse in Rome, jointly with the embassy of France in Italy. It accommodates each year 18 members and 133 young stock exchange researchers whose research requires a presence in Italy.

The French School of Rome has its publisher, the Publications of the French School of Rome, and publishes several reviews of history resulting from the Mélanges of archeology and history (1881-1970): the MEFRA (Antiquity), the MEFRM (the Middle Ages) and the MEFRIM (modern and contemporary Time).
