Location: Les ateliers FL Lyon is in the 1st arrondissement of Lyon, which is in the heart of the city. It is the hipster area of the city, with cobbled streets, impressive landmarks, boutique shops and quaint eateries. It is part of the Lyon music scene with a selection of vinyl stores to scroll through during the day and a lively nightlife with a variety of late-night clubs. Situated towards the south of this neighbourhood, the school is equal distance from the Rover Rhode and the River Saone

Public Transportation: The school is just three minutes by foot from the nearest metro station, Hôtel de Ville L. Pradel. This station has both the A and C services running through it, which both connect to various popular locations in the city. There are a large number of bus stops close to the school for routes that run all over the city, making it easy to navigate Lyon from Les ateliers FL Lyon.

Things to see in Lyon: What is referred to as the central point in Lyon is walkable in around five minutes. The main cluster of attractions is situated across the River Saone from Les ateliers FL Lyon. To reach places such as La Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière and the Teatro Galo-Romano, students can hop on public transportation and be there in 18 minutes, or alternatively meander through the streets by foot in just over 20 minutes.

Courses: In addition to General French programmes, which are available to students of all levels throughout the year, Les ateliers FL Lyon also provides University Pathway and programmes of private tuition. These one-to-one and two-to-one courses are available in conjunction with or independently from any other programme.

“The location, the course schedule, the classmates and the snack that a teacher organized for us on the first Friday.”
“They did not take into account the level of the students and grouped the new students in the same group.
The facilities were too small for the groups.
There was hardly any audiovisual material to use in the classroom.
The printed material was limited to a few cards that were sometimes illegible due to lack of ink in the photocopier.
The teaching staff did not provide personalized attention, despite the fact that the group was very different in terms of language proficiency.”
Insider tip: “They are not adapted to your level.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: It was of little use to me.
Other comments: The school should make an effort in organization adapted to the real levels of the students they receive, in material and audiovisual aids and in the printed material offered to the students to work with.

Questions and answers about Les ateliers FL

Is a 4 week course suitable for an 18 year old girl in November or will there be only older adults?
“According to the information available, the average age of students at Les ateliers FL, Lyon, is 25 in summer and 30 during the rest of the year. This means that there is a good mix of ages, and not only older adults.

Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Aug 23, 2024
I realised that Monday is a bank holiday. Would the week start on the Tuesday? Will they make up for the lessons?
“The school is closed on bank holidays. In case Monday is a bank holiday the course will start on Tuesday. Private classes are recuperated or refunded. However the school can't make up for lessons that fall on bank holidays and they can't offer a refund. This is the standard policy applied by the majority of schools.

Do classes take place on public holidays resp. are classes rescheduled to other days of the week because of the public holiday?

Tanja, LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 13, 2023
My son is a 15 years old (16 in November). Can he attend a B2 intensive course for adults in August and book a homestay? He will travel alone.
“The class of his level is composed of only adults, most of them are preparing to go to university. If that is convenient for him and he is accompanied by an adult every day then we can accept him. Unfortunately, we cannot accept him in a host family if he will be coming on his own, plus the average age will be at late 20’s/30’s.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.

The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
Gabriele Ragger verified client
I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.

You're just great, doing a fantastic job. I'll be back in a couple of weeks and be booking my next stay abroad with you again (as always).

Your service was excellent, really following up and holding my hand.! My older step-brother used your service a few years ago to study Spanish in Salamanca and Granada and we found LanguageCourse.Net so helpful then as well.

Just keep up the good work. The organization is excellent, so that even less experienced travellers would feel ok to come to China. I also felt really good in the host family, they were really great!
