Paris, the capital of France, is one of the most visited cities in the world, with the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, its cafés and art scene. It offers the widest choice of schools and programs for those who want to learn French at the heart of French culture.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Paris:
See our Courbevoie page for the La Défense business district area.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short holiday course, 3-6 months for everyday communication, and usually 9-12 months for a university application. At most schools, courses can be extended week by week.
Fees vary from school to school: university language centres and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. For short courses, booking 4-6 weeks ahead is usually enough. For programs requiring a national visa, plan your application 3-4 months ahead to allow for appointment waiting times.
Your visa type depends on the length of your course: a Schengen visa for up to 90 days and a long-stay student visa for longer programs. The Campus France process takes time, so plan your application early; NGGlobal helps you prepare your documents.
Students in France on a long-stay student visa may work up to 964 hours a year, about 20 hours a week on average. Working on a Schengen visa is prohibited.
Rents in Paris are among the highest in France; homestays, student residences and options such as the Cité Universitaire help balance the budget.
Paris is France's most expensive city, with rent the largest part of the budget. Student discounts and free museum entry for under-26s help balance spending.

Paris has a mild oceanic climate with gentle, rainy winters and warm summers.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) take about 3.5 hours; there are also flights from Turkey to Orly Airport. RER trains connect the airports to the city centre.
