Testimonials

I didn’t regret it for a second! It was my first experience taking French classes in France, and it was perfect! Our teacher was very skilled, encouraging, and organized the lessons in a way that we never got bored for even a second. The topics were very interesting, and we always had something to say! The school is located in a very charming neighborhood of Bordeaux and is a great starting point for exploring the city — with lovely cafés, vintage shops, and of course, bakeries 🙂 This week helped me gain confidence in speaking and motivated me to work even harder on my French. Thank you so much!

A pleasant and very instructive week. I spent a week at Les Ateliers school, and both the classes and the accommodation were really interesting and enjoyable. I learned a lot, and I hope to take another course there to continue improving.

A good experience in Bordeaux. The teachers are really up to date and super kind. Everything was well done — the organization, the events.

I had an exceptional experience at Les Ateliers FL Bordeaux. The quality of education is outstanding, and the teachers are not only highly skilled but also incredibly kind, attentive, and supportive. They genuinely care about their students, tailoring lessons to meet individual levels and needs while always encouraging us to push ourselves further. The teachers here are true educators, passionate about what they do, and they create an environment that fosters both learning and confidence. The entire staff is approachable and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure we make the most of our time at the school. Every single class was well-structured, engaging, and of the highest standard, making learning both effective and enjoyable. I am absolutely satisfied with every aspect of this school and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to learn French in Bordeaux. Thank you, Les Ateliers FL Bordeaux, for such an enriching experience!

Les Ateliers was a great success for me for several reasons. I really enjoyed the surprise visit to the Bordeaux chocolate factory. There are other similar travel opportunities, and some of these trips come from student suggestions. It was a great place to learn, with lots of topic-based conversations between students or with teachers. In addition, they offered many simple ideas to improve your speaking and listening skills. We followed a set program as well as additional learning activities. During the week, I had a lot of practice and, overall, it was extremely helpful for improving my French skills. I made new friends and I absolutely recommend it to anyone studying French.
