Inside Our French Classrooms in Paris – La Défense

The Campus

A Comfortable French Language Center

Welcome to FTC Paris — a place where learning French becomes a true experience. Just steps from the Grande Arche and only 10 minutes by metro from the Arc de Triomphe, our new space is more than a classroom: it’s a dynamic, 24/7-accessible campus where your progress meets connection, creativity, and confidence.

Located in the heart of La Défense, our bright classrooms, calm lounges, and shared spaces are designed to help you learn, focus, and feel at home.
Learning Space

Learn in calm, well-designed classrooms

Each student has a large 1.20-meter desk and an ergonomic chair — perfect for comfort during lessons. Classrooms are bright, quiet, and white-toned, with large windows for natural light.

Every room is equipped with both air conditioning and heating, so you can study comfortably in any season. The space is clean and peaceful, helping you stay focused without distractions.
Immersion

Connect with real professional life

Unlike all other French language schools in Paris, FTC Paris is based inside a professional coworking environment. You’ll be surrounded by French-speaking professionals, startups, and creatives. This gives you a rare chance to practice French in real contexts.

Study, work, and collaborate — your way
Whether you’re revising alone, preparing for class, or working on a group project, the space adapts to your rhythm. Settle into a quiet lounge, choose an office pod for full focus, or meet classmates in a booth.
Lifestyle

Take a break, recharge, and enjoy

Between classes or after a study session, take time to disconnect. Whether it’s a quick game of table tennis, a round of foosball, or a relaxed moment around the pool table, the space is designed for both focus and release.

With soft seating, warm lighting, and a calm ambiance, it’s the perfect place to clear your mind.
Unique in Paris
