Study French at
Université of Lyon Lumière 2
Nestled in the heart of Lyon, just a short walk from the banks of the Rhône River, the Centre International d’Études Françaises (CIEF) welcomes you throughout the academic year for semester, annual, or short- and long-term courses.
Founded over twenty years ago, the CIEF offers extensive experience in teaching French, with one guiding philosophy: quality education. Surrounded by a dedicated and professional teaching team and supported by a dynamic and enthusiastic administrative staff, you will progress at your own pace.
Combining French language courses with extracurricular activities, your student life will be filled with rich experiences, meaningful encounters, and unforgettable exchanges.
Explore French culture and city of Lyon
After completing their morning French lessons, students will take part in interactive, project-based workshops carefully designed by the school. These projects are meant to help students apply what they have learned in class to real-life situations while developing practical communication skills.
Working in small groups, they will collaborate on cultural, linguistic, or creative projects such as interviewing locals, preparing short presentations, or exploring specific aspects of French life and society.
These activities are not only educational but also immersive — students learn by doing, speaking, and experiencing. The goal is to strengthen their confidence in using French naturally, outside the classroom environment.
In the afternoons, students will have the chance to discover the city of Lyon, one of France’s most fascinating and welcoming destinations. They will explore its UNESCO-listed Old Town, walk along the Rhône River, visit museums, and taste the famous Lyonnais cuisine.
Each activity is designed to complement their language learning journey — allowing them to learn French while living it.
By combining classroom lessons with hands-on projects and cultural exploration, this program offers a complete experience that helps students improve their French while discovering the beauty and everyday life of Lyon.
