Learn French in Lyon, France


Historic Lyon
Historic Lyon

Lyon enjoys a magnificent location, at the convergence of the Rhône and Saône rivers, close to the French Alps. It is a city of sophistication, history and culture that offers something for everyone! Lyon is particularly renowned for its gourmet food. Why not try the local speciality of ‘andouilettes’ (pork sausages)? Or take a walk through the ‘fraboules’, tunnels used by the French resistance during World War Two.

In the summer months, Lyon even has a beach! Sand is deposited on the banks of the Rhône, creating the perfect place for relaxing in the sun. If you take a French course in Lyon during December, you might witness the Festival of Lights. Locals place candles in their windows and enjoy light shows and parties, all in homage to the Virgin Mary, whom locals believe saved the city from a plague during the Middle Ages. Lyon offers a great variety of things to see and do, and learning French is just the start!
