Don't just Learn French.
Live the Story
Textbooks are great, but have you ever ordered a crêpe on a hidden rooftop or debated modern art in Le Marais? At FTC Paris, the city is the main character of your learning journey.
Learning Through Experience
At FTC Paris, we believe the best way to learn French is to live it. That’s why our activities aren’t just extras — they’re essential. Each outing, workshop, or event is carefully designed to immerse you in the language, culture, and rhythm of Paris.
Whether you’re chatting with locals at a market, exploring street art in Belleville, or tasting cheeses in a food tour, you’re not just practicing grammar — you’re living the language. These real-world moments build confidence, fluency, and cultural intuition in ways a classroom alone never could.
"Each session, they will also organize activities and field trips which helps to further foster the connection among the students, allows us to immerse ourselves in French culture, and of course, practice speaking French!"
Curated Adventures
Three experiences rooted in language and culture: an immersive visit to the EDF Foundation's exhibition on the link between energy and climate change; a cultural outing to the Yves Saint Laurent Museum to explore how flowers inspired decades of work by a master of haute couture — followed by coffee near the Arc de Triomphe with a French high school teacher; and a delicious hands-on crêpe workshop for La Chandeleur — all in French, guided and student-led!

Why it works
Pedagogical foundation:
Our outings follow the action-oriented philosophy of modern language learning (as promoted by the CEFR), where learners are active participants in real-life communication — not passive recipients of content.
Authentic context = deeper learning
Words stick when attached to a place. You'll remember "guichet" because you used it at the metro, not because you read it in a book.
Emotion + environment = motivation
Laughter, surprise, and curiosity act as "super-glue" for memory. Our activities are designed to spark these emotions.
Memorable moments = long-term retention
You're not learning alone. You're exploring with a squad of international students who become your Paris family.
