French Summer Course and Activities in Paris Residence : Description

Study French in Paris with Nacel and turn your summer into a full-on immersion experience. Our junior program combines structured French language learning with daily cultural discovery, so you practice French in class and then bring it to life across the city.

When the program runs

This course is available to individual students in August. For closed groups, we can organize the same program at other times of the yea, just contact us to discuss dates and availability.

A semi-intensive French course with real progress

Designed for students who want to significantly strengthen their French, this program includes 15 lessons per week (60 minutes per lesson). Lessons focus on the core skills you need to improve confidently: reading, writing, listening, speaking, and overall comprehension.

On the first day, students take a placement test to ensure they join the right level. At the end of the course, each student receives a certificate of studies. Levels typically range from intermediate to advanced, and classes are taught by qualified, experienced French teachers.

Explore Paris every day, safely and fully supervised! 

French learning doesn’t stop after class. Guided visits and outings are planned daily, including weekend activities, so students can discover Paris and the surrounding region through museums, landmarks, neighborhood walks, excursions, and cultural activities.

Students are fully chaperoned throughout the program. The goal is simple: enjoy Paris while learning how French culture, history, and daily life connect: through experiences, not just textbooks.

A comfortable, well-located learning environment

Classes take place inside a premium youth hostel with spacious, well-equipped classrooms. The hostel is located near Saint-Jacques and Glacière metro stations, making it easy to reach Paris’s top attractions quickly. The area is considered safe and practical, with nearby shops and places to eat.
