ELFE in Paris

ELFE occupies a 18th century mansion in the center of Paris, 15 minutes from the Opera and the Arc de Triomphe, and close to the Place de Clichy metro station. At the center of the Villa Ballu, it benefits from a calm that is exceptional in the city.

ELFE’s quality language programs include various options enabling students to become better acquainted with Paris and French culture. In addition to excursions and classes in French civilization, cuisine and wine appreciation, ELFE makes it possible to for its students to participate in Parisian life. An evening outing is organized every week in a typical French restaurant and in fashionable private discotheques.
