French Courses in Bordeaux

Welcome to Bordeaux, famous 18th century city surrounded by ancient and prestigious vineyards. Bordeaux is reasonably spread out along the western side of the River Garonne, with the eighteenth-century old town lying between the place de la Comédie to the north, the imposing buildings of the river bank and the cathedral to the west. North of the centre is the vast open square of the esplanade des Quinconces , and further still, the Jardin Public , containing some very scant remains of Bordeaux's Roman past

Bordeaux lacks any truly grand, people-watching cafés . Though Café Regent on place Gambetta is the place to be seen, a nicer, cheaper alternative is to be found across the square at Café Dijeaux beside the city gate. For picnic fodder , there is a marvellous, round market in the place des Grand-Hommes, north of cours de l'Intendance. And on rue de Montesquieu, just off the square, Jean d'Alos runs the city's best fromagerie , with dozens of farm-produced cheeses.

Bordeaux is packed with numerous restaurants , many of them top-notch, and due to its position close to the Atlantic coast, fresh seafood features prominently on many a Bordelais menu. The best place to look for restaurants is around place du Parlement and place St-Pierre, where you'll find something to please all tastes and budgets. There are numerous sandwich bars and fast-food outlets at the south end of rue Ste-Catherine and spilling into studenty place de la Victoire. In recent summers, guinguettes - open-air riverside stalls selling shrimps, king prawns and other seafood snacks - have proved a huge success, and they set up along the quai des Chartrons.

Located in a spacious 19th century three-storey building in the heart of the city, we offer 15 bright, air-conditioned classrooms with an internet access and self study room and lounge leading onto a sheltered garden.
