Alliance française de Paris

Overview

The Alliance française de Paris offers face-to-face French courses at its central Paris campus. The four-week intensive format suits learners who want weekday classes and time to use French around the city. The school also lists a separate intensive course for complete beginners and less intensive options. Check which track fits your placement level before choosing dates or committing to a room. The Paris branch publishes a catalogue of in-person and distance courses as well as certification options. The 72-hour classroom session can suit adults who want to study in Paris for a month and use French between classes. The shorter classroom schedule in the semi-intensive option may fit someone with other commitments. The separate complete-beginner listing matters when choosing a course because placement level determines what you can book. Use the individual course listing to compare teaching hours and the dates of its two breaks.

Courses

The intensive in-person course lists 72 hours over four weeks, with two breaks in the session calendar and levels A1–C1. The course catalogue lists it as a morning option. Use the session timetable for exact teaching days and check the separate complete-beginner course if you have never studied French. A semi-intensive course has 36 hours over four weeks. The 72 hours span four calendar weeks. Because the school schedules two days without class, use the course calendar to plan trips or commitments rather than assuming an even weekly timetable.

Fees

The school lists €1,460 for the 72-hour intensive session. Registration and materials are excluded from that figure. The school separately lists Escales Parisiennes stays with housing, but those use their own dates and course conditions. Request the registration and materials charges and a 28-night housing quote before treating the course price as a total. The €1,460 price is for the catalogue’s 72-hour in-person course. That works out to about €20.28 per advertised teaching hour before registration and materials. It is useful for comparing classroom time, but it does not give the cost of a Paris stay. Ask the school for a written study subtotal that includes registration and the level-specific materials. If you are considering the Escales package, compare its actual teaching hours, dates and room type rather than adding its price to the standalone course. A 28-night estimate needs a housing quote with the full calendar dates. For privately booked lodging, check whether the quote includes any local tax and cleaning charge.

Accommodation

The Escales Parisiennes offer combines a French course and housing for selected dates. It is a separate booking from the stand-alone intensive session. Check the accommodation type, meal plan, journey to the school and exact room dates on the offer. If booking your own accommodation, compare the cancellation policy with the course schedule. The Escales listing is designed as a combined stay, so first confirm which dates are offered and where the included room is located. If organising housing yourself, check access to a kitchen and the route to class. Leave time to move in before the first teaching day and confirm how weekends and the session breaks affect the booking.
