Welcome to the land of baguettes, croissants and breathtaking sites like the Eiffel Tower, the Champs Élysées or the Louvre Museum. If you’re considering learning French abroad, there’s no better place to immerse yourself in the language and culture than France itself. And it’s impossible not to come to France without staying in Paris and learning French at ACCORD.
“City of Light”, the French capital offers you an impressive number of places and monuments to visit, including those which have made and still make Paris famous.

Select your Accommodation in Paris – Homestay vs. Dormitory: Living arrangements can significantly impact your immersion experience. While residences or aparthotels provide a social atmosphere and opportunities to meet other students, homestays offer a more intimate setting for practicing French with a Parisian family. The host families are used to welcoming foreign students and, therefore, know how to help them familiarise themselves with the Parisian way of life and culture.
