  I was there for three weeks. It was a fantastic experience.  My teachers were experienced and empathetic and I learned a lot during this time. I came away being comfortable with A2 level conversations. Plus Annecy is a lovely town and a great place to practice what one has learned. I would do it again!

  I just spent a very enjoyable 2 weeks learning French at KLF in the beautiful City of Annecy. My teachers Karin & Aude were excellent and they provided a very enjoyable environment for learning the language, I cannot recommend this school more highly. The only thing I would add, is to check what week you are joining a course as they run for eight weeks and if you arrive at Week 6 as I did you do miss the basis of what is being taught. Having said that I still learnt a lot.

  I signed up for the seniors French language course. We had a lovely group that bonded well over our love of France. The lessons, the trips and visits to local restaurants were fantastic and very good value for money.

  Exceeded our expectations!  A phenomenal experience. We had interactions 3 teachers and 2 administrators. Everyone we met was helpful and encouraging. The teachers are amazing and the best!  Quite adept at instruction and engagement. I was particularly impressed how they ensured every student was advancing, whatever level they were at. Would 100% do this again. And look forward to having the opportunity again some day.

I enjoyed the outings to restaurants and the tours that were provided.  I especially liked the Atelier fabrication de fromage.  And the time I spent in Annecy was marvelous !

  The classroom was overcrowded, with desks and chairs arranged haphazardly. The air was extremely stuffy, the fans didn't have enough space to run properly and were noisy, the monitor almost blocked half of the blackboard, and the electrical wires at the front of the classroom were a mess. The classroom environment was my biggest disappointment. There were only two toilets, which were simply not enough to use during breaks. The overall space planning definitely needs a serious overhaul.

  I spent six weeks of my summer here, and I couldn’t have chosen better.  The school was very organized and the staff communicated with all of the students—including me very well.  They provide homestay or very affordable housing options in Annecy, which is one of the most beautiful and somewhat expensive areas in France.  It’s ideal for nature enthusiasts like me.  Their classes are very well organized, and all of the instructors are enthusiastic and care about their students.  Although my instructor, Gladys, was newer to teaching, she spent a lot of time trying to tailor the class to all of our interests and really cared about us as students.  The school also provides many activities such as weekly drinks, paddle boarding, hiking, visiting the beach and local museums, and city tours to socialize with other students and make you feel welcome.  Most of them are free or cost a very small amount.  If you can’t make it to Annecy, check out the other locations of this school through France!

  A very positive experience with IFALP Annecy. We spent a week in this beautiful city and will cherish the memories. A huge thank you to our teacher, Pascaline Mermoux, for her kindness, patience, and the high quality of her lessons. She made learning French both interesting and fun. I highly recommend this school and Pascaline to anyone who wants to learn French in a beautiful setting.

The administrative process was easy and friendly.  Best of all our teacher leandre was excellent.  Very engaging, supportive, and encouraging if participation.  I learned a lot in one week.

  A week-long super-intensive course. The classes were excellent, and the group was made up of adults of all ages. The "apero & rando" activity and others they offer are a great way to practice French. The city is very safe and beautiful. I will definitely return.

French Group Courses in Annecy — Your Questions Answered

Everything teachers, universities and agencies ask before booking a group French language stay in Annecy.

How much does a group French course in Annecy cost?

Programmes start from €475 per student for a one-week, all-inclusive stay (a group of 12 with a teacher). That covers 20 French lessons, homestay accommodation with half-board, the activity programme and one full-day excursion. Every quote is tailored to your dates, group size and accommodation choice.

What is included in the group programme?

French lessons, accommodation, a cultural activity programme, one full-day excursion, dedicated local support throughout, and the group leader's place fully included — all in one transparent price with no hidden fees.

What group sizes do you accept?

From 6 to 120 students. Larger groups are split into level-based classes so every student learns at the right level, whatever the size of your group.

Do teachers and group leaders travel free?

Yes — one accompanying adult travels free for every 12 students, including their accommodation and activities. Extra leader places can be added on request.

What ages can join an Annecy group stay?

From age 13 upward — secondary schools (collèges & lycées), universities, Erasmus+ groups, and adult or teacher-training groups. Programmes are adapted to the age and level of each group.

What accommodation options are available for groups?

Carefully selected host families (half-board, the most popular for immersion), a student residence, or hotels — your choice, all within easy reach of the school. Mixed solutions are possible for larger groups.

Do you provide Erasmus+ and PCTO documentation?

Yes. We supply full documentation for Erasmus+ KA1 & KA2 mobility files and PCTO learning-outcome records for Italian schools, and we can organise DELF/DALF exams on site at the end of the stay.

How quickly will we receive our quote?

A detailed, tailor-made quotation within 24–48 hours of your enquiry, with no obligation. We then adjust it together until it fits your budget.

When should we book our group trip?

Most schools book 4–8 months ahead. Spring dates (March–May) fill first, so enquire early for the widest choice of weeks and accommodation.

Is Annecy a good destination for student groups?

Ideal — the Venice of the Alps is a stunning lakeside town 40 minutes from Geneva, with a turquoise lake, a pastel Old Town and mountains all around, so groups settle in fast and practise French everywhere.
