FRENCH COURSES IN NICE

Nice - The capital of the French Riviera is located at the foot of the Alps on the beautiful Baie des Anges.

It is a city of more than 400,000 inhabitants and has the second largest airport in France. Nice is famous for its wide avenues, beaches and sumptuous "Belle Epoque" buildings. It is a city rich in culture and history and offers visitors a wide range of sports and leisure activities.
