French Language Schools in Lyon

I thought Lyon was great! A pleasant, very interesting city with different, lively districts, many great impressions, a large park, small squares, cultural offers. The culinary offer in particular is great, and at affordable prices. The museums are also worth seeing, there are changing, exciting exhibitions. I especially liked the walks along the Rhone and the Saône, where you can picnic, party in the houseboats, just sit around and enjoy the atmosphere. Everything is peaceful and harmless. I walked alone through the streets at 10.30 p.m. and never had the feeling of being in danger.

Lyon is a 'young' city with a high proportion of students. The people overall are very friendly and relaxed, even if I disregarded the traffic rules (no honking). A good mix of representative districts with stately houses and many small galleries, shops, cafes, bistros ... A little more cleanliness with regard to dog poo would make the city even more lovable.

Lyon is a beautiful, lively and varied city, very well served by public transport, with a wide range of cultural activities and surroundings worth seeing. I did not take part in the nightlife, so I cannot give it a rating.

This is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Lyon has a vibrant atmosphere and one of the main cities in France. You will get to experience the best aspects of French culture in this city

I primarily enjoyed the park, it is really beautiful and definitely something you have to see, the old parts of the city and the big paintings on many buildings are also really beautiful.

There are many things to see or do but being a big city you have to walk a lot or use public transport. Restoration is a bit more expensive than in other smaller towns in France.

Hard to give accurate picture since the city was quite empty of locals - a great many people had gone on holiday and many venues/shops/museums were closed.

One of the most beautiful cities, where you can discover something new and worth seeing around every corner. Above all, it is historically very diverse.

Overall, Lyon is pretty nice city to study. Local people are much more gentle than I expected and liveable in France. City view is so beautiful.

My mobile phone was stolen. Therefore, one should think carefully about which neighbourhoods of the city one spends time in.

Although my level wasn't the same as the course, I was well looked after so that I could follow along. Bonus: and then also as educational leave - fantastic!
