Location: Les ateliers FL Lyon is in the 1st arrondissement of Lyon, which is in the heart of the city. It is the hipster area of the city, with cobbled streets, impressive landmarks, boutique shops and quaint eateries. It is part of the Lyon music scene with a selection of vinyl stores to scroll through during the day and a lively nightlife with a variety of late-night clubs. Situated towards the south of this neighbourhood, the school is equal distance from the Rover Rhode and the River Saone

Public Transportation: The school is just three minutes by foot from the nearest metro station, Hôtel de Ville L. Pradel. This station has both the A and C services running through it, which both connect to various popular locations in the city. There are a large number of bus stops close to the school for routes that run all over the city, making it easy to navigate Lyon from Les ateliers FL Lyon.

Things to see in Lyon: What is referred to as the central point in Lyon is walkable in around five minutes. The main cluster of attractions is situated across the River Saone from Les ateliers FL Lyon. To reach places such as La Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière and the Teatro Galo-Romano, students can hop on public transportation and be there in 18 minutes, or alternatively meander through the streets by foot in just over 20 minutes.

Courses: In addition to General French programmes, which are available to students of all levels throughout the year, Les ateliers FL Lyon also provides University Pathway and programmes of private tuition. These one-to-one and two-to-one courses are available in conjunction with or independently from any other programme.

Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

The lively and engaging lessons, very suitable also for students with less knowledge of the French language. Above all, speaking was practised. Grammar was not neglected either. There was a cheerful atmosphere, which was certainly also due to the teacher's positive charisma. I liked it very much

The teacher was very good. He used different teaching methods that were very diverse, contemporary and adapted to the learners. He involved all students very well according to their abilities.
Insider tip: The Musée des Confluences and the surrounding area with the newly designed buildings of the harbor, Bistrot Bondy
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: My teacher Raphael has earned 5 stars. His lessons were very clear, varied and appropriate to the course participants. He involved every student in the lesson appropriately, despite their different prior knowledge. The study group size of 7-8 participants was good.

The location, the course schedule, the classmates and the snack that a teacher organized for us on the first Friday.
Disliked
They did not take into account the level of the students and grouped the new students in the same group. The facilities were too small for the groups. There was hardly any audiovisual material to use in the classroom. The printed material was limited to a few cards that were sometimes illegible due to lack of ink in the photocopier. The teaching staff did not provide personalized attention, despite the fact that the group was very different in terms of language proficiency.
Insider tip: They are not adapted to your level.
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: It was of little use to me.
Other comments The school should make an effort in organization adapted to the real levels of the students they receive, in material and audiovisual aids and in the printed material offered to the students to work with.
