Testimonial about Online Courses

"Before this year of the pandemic, the best immersion school I have attended the Ecole Des Trois Ponts. I attended two times and each time my french improved. Now, of course, it is not possible to attend the school. What is possible is online lessons by skype or zoom.
I needed a challenge and decided to try the online program. It has been very rewarding. Having a personal french coach has been, tremendously, helped me with my weak areas. So, if you have a love of the french language and want to grow, I encourage you to start the online program".

La Fête des Lumières de Lyon

A l’origine : une fête religieuse

La Fête des Lumières est à l’origine une célébration religieuse où la population de Lyon rend hommage à la Vierge Marie qui est vénérée depuis le Moyen Âge, depuis 1643 précisément, date à laquelle le sud de la France a été durement touché par la peste. A cette époque, les différents représentants de la ville de Lyon, c’est-à-dire les ‘‘échevins‘‘ (magistrats de Lyon), les notables et le prévôt des marchands, ainsi que la population font un voeu : ils promettent solennellement de rendre hommage à la Vierge Marie chaque année si la peste s’arrête et s’éloigne de la ville pour épargner les vies de ses habitants.

When Lyon was called Lugdunum

Just heading south east from Roanne, where you just had your French courses in France, you will not be able to miss the country’s third city by its population : Lyon.

The city is known mainly for its gastronomy and the number of chefs it provided to French cuisine.

The Eiffel Tower, history and gastronomy

If you ask anyone on this planet the name of the most famous monument in the world, they will certainly give you one answer : The Eiffel Tower. For anyone taking French courses in a french immersion school, this is a must to visit !

Discover invisible french letters in our French immersion school

Why half of the letters in a French word are never pronounced ?

Do you remember those first French courses you had ? Unlike many languages, the way to read French is not straightforward. You see the letters, you can clearly read them, but it sounds nothing like the way it should. And you accent has nothing to do with it.

The difference between "Classroom French" and "Real Life French"

This is one of the great mystery of french language learning (or any language learning!). How come there is such a huge gap between what Mrs Harrison the French language teacher in High School, who was supposed to be fluent, taught me and what I first experienced in real life in France?

Learning French easily: the difficulties and how to overcome them

There are so many reasons to learn French. The first one is very simple: the beauty of the language, the way it sounds. The French simply need to say a few words to turn any simple and casual phrase into poetry to any foreign hear. French literature is also another excellent reason why anyone would like to learn the French language.

The most efficient way to learn French fast
