It was a very good experience. I had to write a final study work (Projet de recherche) in French. It was a very challenging but also satisfying experience.

Final comments
Explore Lyon and it's suroundings. Go to Italy, the Côte and Spain. It'S really close. Avignon is one hour south of Lyon (beautiful town) and it takes only 2 hours to go to Paris by train.

AcademicCourse recommendations
The french marketing courses are really good. Don't take to many courses in English. It seems and probably is easier, but you shouldn't go to France to learn English.
