    Learn French on our immersive courses in France

    Who goes on our French language holidays?

    Keen linguists, beginners who’ve never uttered more than ‘bonjour’, multilingual speakers – everyone is welcome in the classrooms of our French language schools.

    You’ll meet people of all ages and nationalities, from singles to couples to groups of friends. Some have spoken French all their lives and want to brush up on their skills, while others just want to escape traditional classroom settings and inspire their minds.

    All that’s required is a passion for learning and a refusal to be boxed in.

    Is this you? It looks like you.

    Where can you learn French in France?

    France – with its charming beauty and diverse regions – is bursting with culture. Roam the stunning Cote d’Azur on a French language holiday in Nice or discover the gastronomic scene in Normandy instead. Wander the enticing cities of Lyon or Toulouse, or converse over wine and cheese as you learn French in Paris.

    For a peaceful language holiday, spend a week in the sprawling and breath-taking French countryside of the Loire Valley or explore the vineyards and lavender fields of Provence.

    Learning French in France means embracing the nuances of a new language, challenging your mind and being willing to make mistakes. And – most importantly – it’s about sharing laughter, conversation and a glass of wine with other students and locals – without the stuffy classrooms or piles of homework.

    And with professional French tutors, local teachers and native speakers helping you perfect your pronunciation, you’ll return with a broader vocabulary and worldview.

    French immersion courses

    To accelerate your learning, try a full French immersion holiday. Move in with your teacher for a week and become part of the family. Speak the local language from the moment you wake until you’re dreaming in it, too.

    You’ll see the results: a one-week French immersion course equips you with as much language learning as four weeks in a classroom at home.

    Whatever you choose, you can find French courses in France that expand your mind and indulge your inner linguist alongside other passionate students. Never settle for ordinary.
