Google reviews are handy to make decisions, so here is mine. If you are looking for a course to help you to improve your level in a short time, this one is no good, at least it did not help me and I paid 600 euros without any revenue for myself. I have tried intensive courses for one week - as usual too much time wasted for empty discussions, I have then tried individual courses - a tutor did not understand my needs, first two classes were useless and only last ones were more or less okay. In general, I am convinced that the school is overpriced without providing an exceptional quality.

I give 5 stars. I have been to Lyon Bleu three times. The first time I chose it because I would like to find a language school which offers also home stay. Lyon Bleu was perfect match for my demand. I started with A2 level. It is no problem to come here with zero French too. I like the service, quality and flexibility Lyon Bleu offers. The staff from administration has always been a great help. I was lucky to have Hélène as teacher last time. I have learned within 2 weeks more than I can learn by myself for 6 months. Besides, the location of school is in a nice area of Lyon. There are many nice bakeries and the famous park (le parc de tête d'or ) is just few minutes walk distance from school. I used to go walk there after french class. I totally recommend Lyon Bleu

I spent three weeks in Lyon Bleu, what can I say, it was worth every penny! They are very flexible with the starting dates, which is not a given in France, and I've learned a lot in a short span of time thanks to Marie-Hélène. Some students call her "strict", and maybe you can say that she is "old school", in fact we spent a great deal of time learning about grammar in class, but for me it's really the only effective way to learn a language, so I say bravo madame! Another great thing about the school are the students you can meet there, saying that it was a multicultural experience doesn't render it justice...young students for every corner of the world, workers, middle-aged people, everyone with a story to tell!

C'était magnifique ! I had one of the best experiences at Lyon Bleu. I studied at Lyon Bleu for two weeks, but will certainly be returning soon, hopefully. Registration and information about my time here was clear and specific, and the staff warmly welcomed me on my first day. It's an incredible experience to meet people from all over the world, all studying French. Lyon Bleu offers plenty of after-class events, such as wine tastings, cooking classes, walking tours of Lyon. If you study here, make sure to take advantage of these events; I was able to make friends quickly because of this. Tea, the Coordinator, was wonderful and was able to answer all of my questions before and during my time at Lyon Bleu. My teacher Eva was so much fun. I highly recommend Lyon Bleu for those looking to improve their French language skills. Lyon is an amazing city and I am looking forward to returning soon. Thank you to everyone at Lyon Bleu for the wonderful time. I'm looking forward to coming back!

Incredibly unprofessional. I attempted to enrol in Lyon Bleu, and received an invoice that said that payment was due by the 22nd of August. I attempted to pay on the 13th, but the link I was sent did not work (instead, the link was to a random email address, possibly a students). Later, I received an email stating that not only had they attempted to contact me multiple times to remind me to pay (completely untrue), but that because I had not paid 30 days in advance (which would have been impossible given I enrolled on the 5th), my place in the class was no longer available. When I contacted them over the phone, and expressed my confusion, I was told that it wasn't their fault (even though they sent me the incorrect payment link AND an incorrect invoice AND told me that they hadn't updated my information on their file to reflect the correct course I wanted to enrol in), because the terms of service on their website said that payment was to be made 30 days in advance, and I could have paid over the phone if the link didn't work. Why would I assume that the invoice I was sent was incorrect, and go to look at the terms of service? I attempted to pay well within the timeframe that the invoice indicated, and as soon as the link didn't work I notified them. They also suggested the payment link not working was the fault of my browser, and not the fact that the link was literally just a random email address! Administrational errors happen. I understand that, and am sympathetic to them. But I am disappointed that as an organisation they would choose to not take ownership of the mistake and apologise for what is a massive inconvenience - it is going to be incredibly difficult for me to find alternative french classes on such short notice. Incredibly disappointing.

I am so happy I enrolled in a one week French course at Lyon-Bleu International. It was professional every step of the way and I felt very supported throughout the process. Registering for classes was straightforward and the administration was very helpful and responsive. My class was wonderful and I enjoyed having a theme (ie education or food or pop culture) around which discussion and learning topics were centered — it was a great way to learn material that could be applied to everyday conversation! As an American, I also loved being in a classroom with students from all countries and hearing various perspectives about how the education system and trends differ across countries. Felipe, our instructor, was very enthusiastic, prepared, and thoughtful — he makes learning so engaging and fun! The highlights of the week were making new friends and the cultural activities offered by the school (such as tours of Lyon, a cheese tasting, a home cooked dinner hosted by Janine). I highly recommend LBI — my advice is to take advantage of all the opportunities! You will not regret taking a class here :)

I had a wonderful time in my 4 weeks at Lyon Bleu. All my teachers were kind and approachable and the lessons were very well structured. Lyon is a beautiful city with much to explore and enjoy. There is also a sense of friendship among the students facilitated by the great number of activities we can participate in. A special thank you to Julien (my professor) and Janine (our wonderful tour guide and cooking teacher!) and Vanessa (for assigning me a wonderful host family and organising my classes). Everyone also felt immediately welcomed by the kind staff who truly wanted us to have a great time - right from the beginning. My host family (matched by Lyon Bleu) was also incredible, and I cried upon saying goodbye! Don’t hesitate to book with Lyon Bleu. :)

1st time. Lyon Bleu is the one stop shop for self-immersion learning. Housing, classes, culture, and tutoring can be provided every week. syllabus is every 8 weeks making each monday available for enrollment. great atmosphere for learning. HIghly recommend

Michaela c’est incroyable! Thank you for a wonderful week of learning. You care about your students and go the extra mile in helping but challenging at the same time. I hope to come back soon. Also, I registered on Saturday to arrive Monday - and everyone went out of their way to accommodate me and to put me in the right class. Other schools I applied to only returned my initial message on Wednesday the following week.

First, to all Swedish students, this school is not eligible for the CSN-grant, since they do not offer final exams. (My application just got denied for this reason.) You can buy an online test, but the school itself does not acknowledge it as a final exam. So, I'm not sure why they have the CSN logo on their website. Please note that the following is based on my experiences, and does not change the experiences of any other reviewer. The facilities are nice, AC functioning and rooms are well-sized with projectors. Several bathrooms. Not sure if it accessible for wheelchairs. Located in a really nice neighbourhood with supermarkets, cafés, shops and restaurants. The quality of teaching really differs. In my three weeks of B2 classes, I had three different teachers (which I guess isn't that good to start with, but I really didn't mind), of which one was really amazing (Hélène), and the other two weeks I could have done without, to be honest. The main difference was that Hélène actually corrected the students when we spoke inaccurately and had high expectations of us, making us actually learn a lot. I walked away from her classes being really happy, because I felt that I had really learnt something. The other two weeks, I'm not sure I learned that much, the teachers didn't really push us and didn't correct anyone unless explicitly asked. From talking to students in other levels (C1, specifically), it was the same for them. During the week, you have 1,5 class dedicated to grammar, and the rest you don't really do anything with grammar at all, in my experience. I felt that this was a lacking point. Classes were generally very low-intensity and lacked in following up past learning points. Usually, you started the week with a vocabulary class, where the first 15 minutes consisted of just staring at a list of words, which wasn't very helpful. I learned the most when we did past DELF-tests, which was quite useful. On the bright side, I had a very positive contact with the administration of the school, with quick replies to e-mails and good service in general. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this school if you really want to advance in your French language skills. However, if you stay with a host family, it migh be worthwile to pay for the minimum amount of classes, or possibly even private classes.

I did a one week intensive course, and it was really good. I can recommend everything about it. I was on holiday for the week, and I asked to do the 3 day intensive course, and I enjoyed it so much I signed on to do an extra day. The staff and teachers were all most helpful in both languages and I thought it was good value for money. Enjoy! Profitez!

I highly recommend this language school. The professors are kind and teach with good energy (merci Anne et Felipe). Also, the school communicated with me and took the time to find the perfect schedule and classes for me. Sandra is especially friendly and helpful. (Merci Sandra!) This is a great place to spend time and improve your French language skills.

I arrived in Lyon with zero French knowledge (A1.1), and thanks to Lyon Bleu, I left three months later with a B2 level! Before starting my course, I received so much help from the director to sort out my visa, classes, and housing. My first month of class, taught by Eva, was truly spectacular. I then had classes with several other teachers, all equally enthusiastic and helpful. Lyon itself is beautiful and located perfectly for those who wish to travel (with Paris, Marseille, and Geneva just a quick train ride away!). Lyon Bleu offers stellar individualized service (of a caliber that I have never encountered at other language schools). It’s a true gem. Merci beaucoup pour cette expérience inoubliable !

I don’t even know where to start on how lucky I am to have found this school. Everything is well-thought: lessons, schedule, additional classes, tutoring, tours, location, etc. Teachers are so understanding, passionate, and with deep knowledge of the language and cultures around the world. I felt super welcomed and motivated to carry on studying. Students are diverse and there is a unique connection between all. Everyone I had met was keen on speaking French and getting to know each other better without any prejudice. In addition, I highly appraise the cultural program every day. When you are new in the city it is worth a lot be occupied and surrounded by the others.
