French Culture

French Culture

French culture has had a marked influence on the Western world, especially in the arts and letters. Ever since the Middle Ages, France and its main city Paris have been key centers in Europe’s blooming culture. France’s wealthy monarchy drew many commissioned artists, craftsmen and architects to what we know today as the City of Lights. French styles regarding the arts, architecture, design, dress and etiquette developed and flourished and some persist even to this day. The French film industry has also had an increasing role in the past century, producing important cultural works.

But the word culture not only encompasses the polished and refined show of fine arts and styles. It also includes the way of life of a country’s people, their way of working and spending their leisure time, customs and traditions.

In order to get a grasp on French, just as with any other language, it is important to immerse oneself in the culture of the people that speak it. And there is no better way of doing that than staying in France itself; above all, if Sprachcaffe Languages PLUS will be guiding you in your quest to broaden your knowledge of the French language and culture at one of their schools in Paris or Nice.

Sprachcaffe Languages PLUS in France offers various types of courses for those students wishing to study French: they include the Standard French Language Course, the French Academic Term/Exam Course, the One-to-One French Course and the French Intensive Course. We also offer a Minigroup French Course and a University Placement Program in Nice.
