Junior French Courses in France

Nice isn't just a backdrop—it's your living classroom. With SPRACHCAFFE's French immersion in France, the language trails you from lessons into the bustling Cours Saleya market, along the sun-kissed Promenade des Anglais, and across dinner tables shared with adults from Copenhagen, São Paulo, and Seoul. Our Nice school has welcomed global learners since 1998.
 

Qualified teachers, small classes, flexible course formats, and a city that makes immersion feel effortless. This is where your French stops being something you study and starts being something you speak.

Dive into Cours Saleya's vibrant markets for fresh socca, olives, and flowers.

No prior knowledge is required. We offer French courses from complete beginner (A0) through to B2, and every student takes a placement test on arrival to ensure they are placed in the right group. If you feel the level is too easy or too challenging once lessons begin, our teachers can adjust your placement during the course.

The Standard Course covers 20 lessons per week (15 hours), with mornings in class and afternoons free. The Intensive Course increases this to 30 lessons per week (22.5 hours) for faster progress - ideal if you have a specific goal such as exam preparation or wish to maximise a shorter stay. Both formats have a maximum of 15 students per class.

Whether you need a visa to travel to France depends mainly on your nationality and how long you plan to stay.service-public.gouv+1

Short‑term visits (tourism, business, language course)

If you are an EU / Schengen citizen (including Polish citizens), you do not need a visa for short stays; a valid passport or national ID is enough

Many non‑EU nationals (including US, UK, Canadian, Australian, and others) can enter the Schengen area (including France) for up to 90 days in any 180‑day period without a visa, as long as the trip is for tourism, visiting family, business meetings, or short‑term studies or training.gov+2

Longer stays or special purposes

If you plan to stay in France for more than 90 days, or to work, study long‑term, or live there, you generally do need a long‑stay visa (visa de long séjour) before arrival.axatravelinsurance+2

Nationals of some countries must have any type of visa even for short stays; this can be checked using the official French "visa assistant" or embassy website for your country.welcometofrance+1

Check the official French government / consulate website for your nationality and confirm whether you need a visa or only a passport (and possibly an ETIAS travel authorization, if your country is on the ETIAS list). Always do this before booking your trip.travel.state+2
