Description

The school is located in a classic French building in the 9th Arrondissment, about 3 minutes walk from the "Grand Boulevards" Metro station.

It is situated on a quiet street next to cafes, corner stores and shops and is just around the corner from a main traditional Parisian street where the city never sleeps. Students will enjoy being in the center of daily French culture and city life at our Paris budget school location.

The school is up on the 2nd floor, just inside the quaint enclosed foyer. The reception area is simple, but bright and lively and becomes the center of activity, socializing and information gathering once classes are over for the day or during breaks.

There is a small internet room available to students and several bright classrooms with large windows to encourage active participation in class.

Our programs cater for all language levels from absolute beginners to the more advanced and 6 different language levels to choose from. Each lesson normally lasts 45 minutes in duration, begin at 9 am daily (Monday through Friday), short breaks are normally taken after every 2nd lesson. (Max. 12 students per class).

Each student will be expected to take a short placement test on the first Monday morning of the course (unless a complete beginner), to determine the students language level and ensure placement in the correct class.

Self-Catering Apartments: (private or double room) no meals.

Highlights

Welcome to Paris, known as the "city of lights" and is truly one of the world's most beautiful cities. From The Louvre's unforgettable painting of the Mona Lisa to Notre-Dame's glowering gargoyles to the glamorous can-can dancers at Moulin Rouge, Paris offers the experiences of a lifetime!

The city has dominated the political, artistic, and intellectual life of France. To artists, it is the capital of paintings, sculpture, design, decoration, music, theater, fashion and literature. To the French, it is the vibrant, beating heart of their country, the center of everything happening in the government and in business.

The river Seine bisects the city and ten of Paris's twenty districts or Arrondissements are located along the riverbanks. Each arrondissement has a character and a meaning for Parisians and offers an array of Cathedrals, Palaces, Parks and Gardens.

2nd / 9th Arrondissment
The 9th Arrondissment is known for its offbeat mix of music shops, clubs, elegant apartment buildings and cozy street cafes and restaurants. A diverse residential area popular among an artistic crowd.

Ths Southern portion is similar to the 9th arrondissement, with a mix of residential and business buildings. The Paris Opera is located here. Farther North is Pigalle, the fading Red Light district as well as the famous Moulin Rouge. The Paris Stock Market (the Bourse) and the Bibliotheque Nationale are within walking distance.
