IFALPES, the Institut Français des Alpes specializes in the teaching of French language courses. The methodology is direct and communicative, and the program is intensive -- four hours or more daily. The student body is drawn from countries around the world, not just American students. The academic program is under the supervision of IPAC School of Management. Annecy is located at the foot of the Alpine massifs and sits on the purest lake of Europe and has breathtaking scenery.
Known as the "Venice of the Alps, with its canals, Old Town, lake, castles, famous hotels and restaurants, Annecy is a bustling city all year round with lots to see and do. Annecy offers students cultural and athletic activities within a very pleasant urban environment. For students who have read about this program in our print catalog, IFALPES is no longer accepting students at their Chambéry campus.
