Learn French in Switzerland - ESL Montreux - French Courses

At ESL, your courses are specially designed to meet the specific needs of non-Frenchspeaking international participants. We know that enjoying classes is the key to learning, and we offer lessons that are both challenging and motivating so that you’ll progress more rapidly.

The course centre



Our school in Montreux is located on the city’s main street in one of Switzerland’s most famous tourist spots, on the banks of Lake Geneva near the beautiful lakeside promenade lined with exotic trees. You can easily get to the school from your accommodation by bus or train, as the bus and train stations are 5 minutes away by foot.

The course centre features 8 bright, comfortable classrooms, and some of them have a stunning view of the lake and the Alps. The small size of ESL Montreux allows us to offer each student personal attention and to assist you when you arrive and throughout your stay.

Furthermore, you may use the many computer stations or the wireless network, which covers the entire school, to access the internet and your e-mail free of charge. After your classes, you may stroll with other students right onto terraces that line the shores of Lake Geneva or head over to the nearby shops.

Students from Switzerland and abroad

Switzerland is unique in that it is divided into 4 different linguistic regions, and non-French-speaking Swiss students also choose ESL. You will thus have the opportunity to study with international and domestic language learners.

Internet access
