Some of the best places to practice the language and enjoy the city are the beautiful parks and gardens, or the many cozy cafe in the downtown area. After your classes, you can dive into the rich and varied cultural life of Tours.

The courses are designed according to the official guidelines of the “Common European Framework of Reference for Languages”. All aspects of language proficiency (understanding and communicating in written and spoken French) are being taught, but priority is given to speaking French.
