Learn French in Lyon, France!

French lesson at our school

Our school is located right on one of the main thoroughfares in the centre of Lyon, on the scenic west bank of the Rhône. A short walk will bring you to the massive Parc de la Tête d’Or, a stunning park with its own lake and zoo! An attractive Art Deco building is home to our school, which has nine comfortable classrooms, a computer room, library, free wireless Internet connection and many restaurants and cafés nearby.

Courses

At our school, you can study in same-level groups, in one-on-one classes or with a combination of both. The most popular group courses are the Intensive and Semi-intensive, which cover speaking, listening, reading, writing and grammar, thereby improving your overall level of French! The Intensive course also includes two French language workshops each day, focusing on areas such as conversation, the French media, phonetics and cinema.

If you’d like to get a better taste of the French way of life, our school runs a French & Culture course, which includes three cultural activities each week. In France, food is an integral part of the culture, so our school’s French & Cookery course is a great way to discover the Lyonnais lifestyle, as well as some tasty recipes!

Private Lessons are also available at our Lyon school, giving your teachers the chance to concentrate solely on improving your level of French. They’ll tailor lessons to suit your interests and requirements, and you’ll soon be using French with confidence!

Accommodation

Live with locals, other students or in your own space whilst you learn French in Lyon! Our school can arrange host family, shared student apartment or studio accommodation for you.

Staying with a host family gives you the advantage of extra language practice, with native French speakers! You’ll have a single room in the home, and access to a bathroom and kitchen. You’ll receive a warm welcome and, according to your preference, two meals per day or breakfast only.

For a little more independence and privacy, choose a studio apartment, equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, TV and Internet access. All apartments are located a maximum of 15 minutes away from the school by public transport.

Many students like to live in a shared apartment with other students from the school. This is ideal if you’d like to spend your free time socialising and meeting people from around the world.

Activities

Make the most of your time in Lyon and practice your French with our school’s varied activities program. Our school organises activities such as food tasting sessions, guided tours, museum trips, picnics and cookery classes. At the weekends, you can join excursions to nearby places of interest, like the Institut Lumière, which celebrates the work of the Lyonnais pioneers of cinema.
