Program
French + Carnival

The Nice Carnival is the biggest in France, and one of the most famous in the world along with the Rio and Venice Carnivals.

The Nice Carnival is one of France’s most colorful and festive events. The atmosphere is both electrifying and convivial, with streets filled with thousands of spectators from all over the world. Parades of floats adorned with flowers, lights and giant figures create a breathtaking visual spectacle. Music echoes through the streets, with brass bands and bands enlivening the crowds. People dance, sing and take part in confetti and flower battles, adding a playful touch to the festivities. In the evening, illuminations and fireworks transform the city into an open-air theater, where the excitement is palpable and the joy collective. The atmosphere is at once festive, relaxed and steeped in local tradition, making it a magical moment for all involved.

Thanks to our program, you can take part in this emblematic festival that has been traditional for over 800 years!

Standard course :
20 lessons of French per week

French courses take place from Monday to Friday mornings at our school, on the basis of 20 lessons per week.

Following a placement test, you will be directed to the most appropriate class according to your level of French and your objectives. Classes are international and exclusively taught in French by experienced teachers with degrees in French as a foreign language. Group classes are limited to a maximum of 12 people, to give everyone more time to speak and encourage conversation and exchange.

Les ateliers FL have set up an online placement test, to be taken before your arrival, to assess your knowledge of written comprehension and production. This test will be supplemented by an oral interview on the first day of class to :

  • Ensure that writing skills match oral levels
  • Better identify your skills and objectives
  • Place you in a class adapted to your level and needs

Evaluation during the stay

At Les ateliers FL every Friday, you will be assessed by your teacher to check that your progress is consistent and in line with the rest of the group.

Most Les ateliers FL schools are examination centers, so you can ask to take an official French exam at any time to assess and certify your level of French.

In addition, you benefit from personalized support to help you go further in your learning of the French language and culture, by working on your personal and professional learning objectives and needs.

At the end of your program, the school will issue you with an end-of-session certificate stating the number of hours attended and the level reached.
