Testimonials

The school is great! It’s located in a very nice neighborhood with easy access, has very attentive and skilled teachers, and also offers a lot of support for international students with several weekly activities to discover the city and make new friends. Studying at the school was an incredible experience, and I would definitely go back to study there again!

Great teachers! I had an awesome time learning french at Les Ateliers in Paris. I had a great teacher and met some very kind people there. The students are quite young. The courses were organised well and the school was easy to find.

I attended this school for about two years. At first, it was located near Notre-Dame Cathedral (in the 5th arrondissement of Paris), but halfway through, it moved to its current location in the 8th arrondissement. I really like the new school building because I could chat with my classmates on the balcony. I started learning French after arriving in Paris, and it was very difficult at first, but thanks to my teachers and classmates, I can now hold everyday conversations in French. There are many different teachers, but all of them are passionate about teaching. The administrative staff, especially Takako, is very kind and friendly. Les Ateliers has become a school in my life that I remember as fondly as my university and high school. Thank you!

A first-class experience
I spent a wonderful week at Les Ateliers Paris, but I wish it had been longer. The lessons are well structured, and the teachers are friendly and highly focused. They are able to answer all questions and explain every concept in detail. The atmosphere at the school is great — everyone is cheerful, and I made friends quickly. I definitely recommend taking a course here! As for me, I will absolutely be coming back!

Yes, I improved my French – but the experience with Les Ateliers was so much more. It was truly a fantastic experience for me. Not only did I improve my French, but I also had a lot of fun. The teachers are very kind, and there was a great sense of camaraderie in our class. I also got to know Paris much better.
