School location

The historic capital of Normandy, the city is famous for Joan of Arc and Monet. Rouen has a population of 120,00 but the conurbation is a lively three university centre of 450,00 people
The city has a pedestrianized historic centre making it a brilliant place to shop and as we are only one hour from Paris it is easy to get to us but also extremely convenient for weekends in Paris, the North of France, the Loire Valley, trips to the UK and to Belgium via Eurostar and of course a romantic day out or two in the French capital.
Rouen is an authentic and safe French city proud of its historic traditions and birthplace of Impressionism.

"A short individualized exam preparation class"

Euis Alina Kusumaningtyas (student) and Visi Asriningtyas (mom) , student from Indonesia

I am in a preparation class of DELF exam, so we just got the exercise. The facilities was fine.
I do not get to know other students since we worked independently in class.
Suggestions : Junior can be separated with tout public.

Hello and sorry that you feel that you did not meet or talk to other student when you were with us. did you not join in any of the social activities which are free and happen daily? You do not just work alone on a personalised programme even in the DELF and Dalf Classes there is always scope to meet the other students in the classroom with you to chat or work together.

"Just fabulous and beyond my expectations!"

John William Bird

I loved my course, my family (wonderfully kind people), and great food. It was a very comfortable house. I chose the Executive option. Thanks to all at French in Normandy. The staff are ALL professional, kind, and caring; they helped me reach my goals.
