What To Expect

Take a break from simple sightseeing in Paris to expand your mind with a French language class at the famous Café de Flore in Paris'  Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood. This area has been known for its cafes since the 17th century, and the Café de Flore itself has hosted the likes of Picasso, Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir as well as current celebrities.

This famous cafe is the perfect setting for a French language class with a qualified English-speaking instructor. Choose either a beginner or intermediate level, with classes limited to no more than five people for the best learning experience. The beginner level is meant for those who are newcomers to French, or who need a refresher course after a long time away from the classroom. The intermediate level is ideal for those who already have a good grasp on the basics of French and want to work on improving things like grammar or pronunciation.

Both levels include a coffee at the cafe and 45 minutes of French instruction and discussion, after which there's a 45-minute walking tour of the  Saint-Germain-des-Prés with your teacher. The neighborhood, also known as the Latin Quarter, has long been a haunt of writers, artists and philosophers.

During the tour is a great chance to try out your new French language skills and ask for other language tips to serve you through the rest of your stay in Paris.

Coffee with Monee
Kathleen_B, Sept 2022
Monee was our teacher. She was enthusiastic, friendly , embracing and put us at ease immediately. We were a party of 4 with very little knowledge of French. As we drank coffee with Monee, we learned some basic conversational language . It was a very fun morning . We had such a wonderful time with her, we hated to part. Monee and the program get an A++++++++++++++++

Teacher No Showed
SandiLee_J, June 2022
No teacher or guide showed up to fill our reservation/ appointment. We did not get to have a lesson or walking tour. The restaurant even helped us look for someone. No one answered out chat and the phone number cut off when we tried to call. We had to request a refund. Now we have to wait a week to see if they provide the refund.

Elizabeth was a great instructor! My teenage daughter and I learned an amazing amount of information about the French language and also about the Saint Germain des Pres area of Paris. This class started our trip off great and we were able to use what we learned to communicate better during the rest of the trip. Highly recommend this class to others!

Steffan was very helpful. He gave us several pointers on French pronunciation that have made us more comfortable with the few tourist phrases we now now. He also gave us some wonderful history and cultural information. I would highly recommend this course to anyone visiting France or trying to improve their French.

Michelle H, Jan 2015
I highly recommend this activity for all interested in practising their French in a relaxed, low pressured way. We met with Caroline at a cafe and chatted for an hour and a half. She was brilliant! I was a bit nervous before going, but she was friendly and ran the lesson based on our needs. Loved it!

Francis W, Feb 2013
This was excellent! My teacher was Maite. Since I was the only student, she conducted the entire session in French. She corrected my grammar and usages when necessary, and answered my questions when I got stuck on how to say something in French. A very good beginning to my 10 days in Paris!
