Lyon offers a distinctive cultural environment, a happening tourist spot, an active and enriching student life. The ideal location of this city makes it more popular among tourists and students alike. It is situated close to the Mediterranean and Geneva, barely less than two hours drive from Paris.

Hence, our courses have been designed to be more interactive and stimulating to make the students learn the language quickly. At ESL, oral methods by active classes have been emphasized, expression workshops are regularly held on meeting other foreign students and French people.
The school is located just a few steps away from the Bellecour, which is Lyon’s largest city square and home to some of the happening cafés and restaurants. Students prefer those cafés as a meeting spot to catch up with friends right after class. If you are a shopping freak, the trendiest shopping zone is also round the corner. The metro station and bus stop are just 5 minutes from the school if you want to go for a travel around the city.
