Outside activities

Activities organised by CILFA’s teachers:

In addition to French lessons, enrich your experience of the French language and culture, by joining in a range of recreational, cultural and linguistic activities organized by the teachers.

These activities serve to enrich students’ classroom experience by giving them exposure to the surrounding attractions of Annecy. They provide new opportunities for students to practice their French language in various settings.

The teacher in charge of the activity makes sure that every student actively participates in using the French language.
