Want to do something meaningful this summer? If you apply now, you could be spending your summer vacation in France learning about the language and experiencing the culture!
Why learning French in France is the fastest way to make progress
Immersing yourself in French culture is the fastest and most effective way to improve your language skills. You’ll be surrounded by the language and engaging with native speakers daily—whether you’re ordering coffee, shopping for groceries, or navigating your new city. This constant exposure builds confidence and accelerates your progress far more effectively than studying from behind a screen at home.
Where to learn French in France this summer
Whether you’re drawn to the energy of a major city or the charm and warmth of the South, we have the perfect destination for you.
You could study French in iconic cities like Paris or Lyon, which are often quieter during the summer. It is an ideal time to explore their culture and history. Prefer the coast? For a summer by the ocean, Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Biarritz are popular options. For a summer by the sea, head to Nice, Aix-en-Provence, Montpellier, or Marseille!
