The Institut de Français in Villefranche-sur-Mer, 10 minutes from Nice's city center, is arguably one of the world's leading French immersion programs and is frequently visited by Alliance Française students from throughout the world. Attending the Institute and spending time in this historic medieval village on the Mediterranean's deepest natural harbor is truly an experience of a lifetime and a wonderful complement to studies at your local Alliance. Says one recent attendee, "The Institut's program is unique, effective, and has drawn motivated language learners from the world over. The teachers are exceptional and the experience is inimitable. You will be living, breathing, and dreaming French, non-stop, along with other motivated learners from all over the world."
