large variety of themes for the afternoon options: political and social life in France, French literature, French regions, French history, French cuisine, French wines, slang and colloquial French etc...

general intensive and intensive-plus courses can also prepare for the DELF-1st degree examinations: students can take the DELF tests in a DELF exam centre in our area if the dates allow for it, or alternatively take them in their own country (Cultural Services of their French Embassy will advise them of the dates).
