Lyon
France's gastronomy capital.
Lyon is France’s second city and one of its most beautiful — a UNESCO-listed old town, two rivers and a food scene like nowhere else. Just 2 hours from Paris by TGV, it’s easy to reach and rich to explore.
Big enough to feel like the real France, walkable enough for groups, Lyon blends French learning with culture, gastronomy and easy trips across the region with our KLF Lyon Bleu International campus in the heart of the city.

French Group Courses in Lyon Your Questions Answered
Everything teachers, universities and agencies ask before booking a group French language stay in Lyon.
How much does a group French course in Lyon 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 8 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 a Lyon 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 Lyon a good destination for student groups?
Ideal — France's gastronomy capital is a UNESCO World-Heritage city just 2h from Paris by TGV, with a Renaissance Old Town (Vieux Lyon), riverside squares and a lively student scene, so groups settle in fast and practise French everywhere.
