The Intercultural French School (EIFE) in Lyon offers you a unique linguistic and cultural immersion in the heart of the capital of French gastronomy. Founded in 2004 by Matthieu Chaigne, our small, friendly school is located in a historic district of the city center. Every year, we welcome students from all over the world to teach them French language and culture. To guarantee you a high-quality learning experience, all our teachers are qualified and hold a Master's degree in French as a Foreign Language (FLE). Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the birthplace of cinema, Lyon is ideally located in France, close to the ski resorts of the Alps (Mont-Blanc) and Geneva.
