You'll learn French a few minutes' walk from the Eiffel Tower, with the Champs de Mars and the Seine both close by. The school has run French courses from this spot since 1988.
Classes stay small here, averaging 11 students and capped at 14, and the school holds five separate accreditations, including the "Qualité FLE" label. Its student community draws from more than 40 countries, and every course includes a pre-arrival placement test, course materials and a certificate at the end.
Accord is right for you if you…
This school suits students who want a small, academically focused course in the heart of Paris, close to the Eiffel Tower. Students seeking a large, campus-style school should look elsewhere.
Start with the students. Start date, trip length and language level are set per student next.

A comfortable middle. Lively enough to feel social, without the summer crowds.

How host family matching worksThe school regularly organises 'Walking in Paris' outings, taking what you have just learned in class out onto the streets around the Eiffel Tower and Champs de Mars. It's a way of tying the language directly to the city, not leaving it behind in the classroom.
Walking in Paris outings
Join the school's regular outings around the Eiffel Tower and the Seine, taking your French practice outdoors and into the neighbourhood.
Library and study room
Drop into the library and study room between classes, a shared space where students work and chat.
Guidance from your first enquiry
Accord's administrative team advises and guides you from your first enquiry through your stay, so you have a point of contact before you even arrive.
Standard group lessons run each weekday morning from 09:00 to 13:00, with full programmes ranging from 15 to 35 hours a week depending on the course you choose. If your course includes afternoon hours, those sessions focus on oral communication, grammar and written French, or exam preparation. In summer, the afternoon programme also runs as an alternative for students not on the morning semi-intensive course. Before you arrive, a self-assessment form and a written test place you into one of six levels, from complete beginner to advanced, so your first lesson matches your ability from day one.
Accord's student community is genuinely international, drawn from more than 40 nationalities who study French together throughout the year. The mix leans younger during the summer months, while university students share the school with working professionals and executives for the rest of the year. Before you even arrive, Accord's administrative team advises and guides you from your first enquiry through your stay, so you already have a point of contact at the school. Outside class, there are several ways to get to know other students, from shared spaces at the school to activities that take you beyond the classroom.
Noticeably more women than men in most classes.
