French Language Schools in France

French is known as the language of love, and the heart of the language is the motherland of France. Hemingway’s France and La Revolucion may be long gone, but the spirit of bohemian life lives on. France is a fabulous place to learn Français while pondering the meaning of life (and love) in dark cafés, tasting many a variety of stinky cheese (over 400, to be exact), and venturing to both sunny beaches and snow capped mountains. Start everyday with a bonjour, and say oui to French language programs in France.

A Guide to Learning French in France

Locations

Sharing a border with eight countries, it’s tempting to use France as a jumping off point for that European backpacking trip. However, with 12 regions to explore within its borders, all with distinct cuisines, cultures, and dialects, it’s not likely you’ll be in any hurry to leave once you settle in.

Without a doubt, Paris is a top choice for French language study in France. There are hundreds of French language schools in Paris to choose from, and no shortage of entertainment outside the classroom. As the most visited country in the world, most tourists are sure to trek to the top of the iconic Eiffel Tower or brave the lines at the Louvre to see Mona Lisa’s smirk; check these off of your bucket list, but put your newfound language skills to the test as well. The beauty of Paris is in the day-to-day life: shopping for a baguette at the market, meeting a friend on the metro, or getting lost (and hopefully found) in one of the 20 arrondissements. Other cities may claim to be the Paris of this or the Paris of that, but there is, in fact, only one Paris.

For a smaller city experience, yet with still just as much to keep you occupied, hop on the TGV (the super fast train) toward the German border to Strasbourg. While the German influence is easy to see in this Alsatian capital, it’s not too much to confuse your French language study. Instead, it is just enough to make this cross-cultural city stand out, like its impressive Gothic cathedral perched in the middle of the town. Wander into medieval Petit France and cozy into a winstub (an Alsatian tavern), or practice your French by ordering some tarte flambée. It’s like pizza, but better. Contrast the ancient with the modern by taking a river tour to see the Council of Europe’s glass palace.

Along the southeastern coast lies the lovely city of Nice. Relax on the Place Masséna and soak in the sun characteristic of the warm Mediterranean climate. If you want to completely chill out in between classes, Nice is the place to escargot. It’s not only a city to unwind, but it’s also a place ripe with inspiration. Matisse and Chagall retreated to Nice when they needed encouragement. Who knows what enlightenment might be waiting?
