Paris, "the city of Lights"

With its history and architectural patrimony, Paris is living, moving and evolving every day.

French School Activities

In addition to language courses the language school organises cultural activities regularly for its students enabling them to acquire a better understanding and appreciation of French culture. This program varies according to the season and the Parisian cultural events. Some examples are:

• Walks in historic and picturesque quarters of the capital, either with a guide or with the help of an itinerary-game written up by the pedagogical team: the Latin Quarter with Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Marais, the Montmartre Quarter with the Sacré-Cœur Cathedral
• Guided tours of the numerous museums of Paris: the Louvre, the Museum of Modern Art, the Picasso Museum, etc.
• Outings to the cinema or the theater which often give rise to lively discussions in Parisian cafés
• Excursions in the Loire Valley and its famous castles
• In the Summer, students are invited to attend weekly conferences held at the school on various topics of French civilization
