Es una habitación más bien pequeña. En mi caso, no podía abrir la ventana del todo porque la puerta chocaba contra la ventana, pero si ponía la cama en modo sofá tenía suficiente espacio. Es una zona que, aunque no esté cerca de la escuela y el centro de la ciudad, está bien comunicada. Se tardan unos 30-35 minutos a pie hasta la escuela, o unos 20-25 en transporte público. La zona no es bonita, no tiene nada de especial, pero parece que hay bastante vida estudiantil. Las actividades eran muy entretenidas. Cada semana teníamos una actividad y una película aunque, la verdad, nadie solía ir a ver la película. La otra actividad podría ser un pequeño tour o algún tipo de juego, normalmente bastante entretenido.

« Tomar vino caliente y crèpes en la parte vieja de la ciudad ha sido uno de nuestros planes favoritos para cuando hacía frío, y cuando hacía mejor tiempo hicimos un picnic en el parque Tête d'or, ¡muy recomendable!

Me habría gustado tener la oportunidad de conocer más pueblos cercanos. »

Il soggiorno è stato veramente molto bello e produttivo. Scuola molto valida con insegnanti e staff bravi, preparati, accoglienti e disponibili. La città molto bella e la famiglia ospitante è stata molto disponibile, gentile e cordiale. Buona ubicazione, la scuola la consiglierei. Molto valida e capace di accogliere studenti di tutte le nazionalità grazie ad insegnanti e staff qualificati e preparati. Le insegnati sono molto qualificate e preparate. Ho imparato molto e sono molto disponibili in caso di chiarimenti o aiuto. Anche lo staff si è dimostrato molto cordiale, accogliente e disponibile. Famiglia meravigliosa. Sin dai primi contatti si sono rivelati disponibili e gentili. Sono stati molto simpatici e ospitali per tutto il periodo di soggiorno. Ho apprezzato molto la cucina francese preparata in casa. La famiglia è stata molto paziente nonostante non parlassi perfettamente il francese e sono resi sempre disponibili ad aiutarmi e ad imparare. Molto belle e interessanti le escursioni e attività organizzate dalla scuola.

Mir hat der Aufenthalt in Lyon sehr gefallen. Es war eine gute Mischung aus französisch lernen und Spass haben und die Stadt kennenzulernen. Ich war sehr zufrieden mit der Schule. Es war sehr unkompliziert dahin zu kommen. Jedoch ist das Öffnungssystem der Türe etwas kompliziert, aber man gewöhnt sich schnell daran. Ich fand den Unterricht sehr gut gestaltet und sehr hilfreich. Die Lehrer waren ebenfalls sehr gut. Schade war, dass es so viele Schweizer und Deutsche hatte. Ich war zufrieden mit meiner Gastfamilie. Ich meistens mit ihnen zu Abend gegessen und sie haben auch immer versucht mir zu helfen mit den Wörtern oder Satzbildung. Ich habe 3-mal bei Aktivitäten mitgemacht und es hat mir sehr Spass gemacht. Es war schön mit der Schule auch ausserhalb mal was zu machen.

Alpadia, Lyon
Duration: 5 weeks

Studying at Alpadia this summer was an amazing experience. The atmosphere is great and the groups are the perfect size (around 8 people). The programme is well structured and allows you to improve at your own pace. Furthermore, the school is placed in the centre of Lyon. It’s a really pleasant city: fun and with lots of things to do!

In short, you learn and you have fun. Getting to know the country that borders with mine but that can seem so different at times is a great experience. I also recommend staying with a host family, as it is the perfect complement to a language course and it offers the complete picture of French culture.

Duration: 3 weeks

My stay in the French city of Lyon was a memorable experience. It was the first time I travelled alone but I felt comfortable straight away because people on site helped me a lot and I rapidly got used to my new environment. The school is small but has everything you need. The teachers were like friends, friendly and funny and always available if we needed help or advice. The school is located in the heart of the city and well-served by public transport. Lyon is a beautiful town. It is crossed by two rivers, which creates an amazing atmosphere. At night, the city is even more attractive as the two rivers are illuminated. It is a young city and it is not too big so you can get around it quite easily with public transport. You can enjoy every area of the city, especially the historical part, the “Vieux Lyon”. I can only recommend this destination to everyone! I really had a great time there and in the end, I didn’t want to go back home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I am a wine lover and Lyon is the perfect city if you love wine and also cheese. It is easy to walk around the city and I only had to take public transport a couple of times. All in all time went by really quickly and I managed to be speaking French by the end of the week! It was a great experience that I hope to repeat again soon.

Host family
Being immersed in a country’s culture is without a doubt one of the best ways to learn the language. Living with a host family means getting to know the way of life of Lyon locals from the inside – their food and customs – while having an enriching experience. It's also your chance to practise French daily in an authentic context. Your host will be carefully selected by our partner school. Living around 10-50 minutes from the school, you will stay in a single or double room with breakfast only or half-board provided.

With shops, cinemas, exhibitions, concerts, sports centres, bars, restaurants, nightclubs and much more, you will find a wide range of attractions to enjoy in Lyon. In the 2,000 years since the Romans founded Lugdunum (their name for Lyon and one of the ancient world’s most important cities), it has turned into a top international destination, especially for foodies. Head a short distance outside the city and enjoy the beautiful countryside that provides the ingredients for the legendary local cuisine. Take a walk, go on a bike ride or taste the latest wines from the Beaujolais region. Its closeness to the Mediterranean, Paris and Geneva makes Lyon an ideal destination for studying French, and you will no doubt be seduced by its beauty, rich culture and festive atmosphere.
