School location

An area very easy to access thanks to metros, trams and buses, it is in this very lively area that you will find shopping streets, theatres and cultural places. Cooking and gastronomy are essential to Lyon’s image, but the identity of this city is a lot more complex and interesting.

Lyon is also a city where the architecture has developed in surprising ways. A stroll by the Saône river banks will make you discover buildings with multiple colours, that makes this urban scenery an enchantment suspended in time. The impressive Place Bellecour, in the heart of Lyon’s central peninsula has nothing to envy to Paris’s great squares. The splendid Fourvière Hill with its beautiful neo-gothic basilica overlooks the entire city and offers a breath-taking panorama over the valley between the two rivers, Le Rhône and La Saône. A must see!

Lyon is a real metropolis, cosmopolitan, cultural and historic place with a vibrant student life. It is also the ancient capital of the Roman Gaul, ancestor of modern France. The history of the city is as rich as it is ancient and will captivate the lovers of French and Antic history.

"Well paced classes in a supportive environment"

Zena Carter, student from Australia

I’ve enjoyed my time chez Les Ateliers. I would have liked there to be more students closer to my age, but I suppose that’s out of your control.
I have recommended the school to many on my blog and FB site.
Love the location of the school
