Student experience

Paris as a classroom

At ALIP, learning French goes far beyond the classroom. We believe that the best way to improve language skills is to use French in real-life situations, discover French culture and connect with people from around the world.

Throughout their stay, students benefit from a welcoming environment where they can practise French, explore Paris and create unforgettable memories.

Learn French through real experiences

Our cultural programme gives students the opportunity to practise French outside the classroom and discover the richness of French culture.

Students can take part in activities such as:

• guided visits of Paris landmarks and historic areas;
• museum visits;
• cultural workshops;
• neighbourhood discoveries;
• French gastronomy experiences;
• social events with other students.

Each activity is an opportunity to communicate in French and experience everyday life in France. Our cultural activities allow students to practise French in authentic situations and gain confidence outside the classroom.

Explore France beyond Paris

Depending on the programme and duration of stay, students can discover other French destinations through organised excursions.

Examples:

• Château de Versailles
• Château de Chantily
• Parc Astérix
• historic cities and cultural sites around Paris

These experiences help students understand French history, traditions and lifestyle.

Coming to France can be a major step for international students. At ALIP, we make sure they feel supported from the moment they arrive.

Our team helps students with:

• information before arrival;

Our goal is to create a friendly atmosphere where students feel confident speaking French and meeting new people.
