Program
French + Jazz Festival

The Festival de Jazz de Nice, also known as the “Nice Jazz Festival”, is a vibrant and eclectic event that takes place every summer in the sunny Côte d’Azur city of Nice. The atmosphere is both relaxed and energetic, blending Mediterranean mellowness with musical fervor.

The festival often takes place in iconic venues such as the Théâtre de Verdure and Place Masséna, surrounded by palm trees and lush gardens. The audience, made up of locals, tourists and jazz fans from all over the world, creates a warm, cosmopolitan atmosphere. The sound of the waves nearby mingles with the notes of saxophones, trumpets and double basses, creating a perfect harmony between music and environment.

In the evening, the golden light of the setting sun transforms into a play of light and shadow, enhancing the intimacy of the concerts. A diversity of styles, from classic jazz to jazz fusion, blues and soul, each adding its own unique touch to the festive atmosphere. Artists, often of international renown, share the stage with emerging talents, contributing to the effervescence and magic of the festival.

The Nice Jazz Festival is more than just a musical event: it’s a celebration of culture, conviviality and passion for music, in an idyllic setting where time seems to stand still.

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.
