This four-week summer course focuses on a significant work of French literature, the short novel Bonjour Tristesse, which was written by French author Françoise Sagan at the age of 18.

The novel tells the story of a young woman, Cécile, who spends the summer in the French Riviera with her father and his young mistress, Elsa. The three of them live a carefree life before the arrival of Anne, an elegant and intelligent woman who quickly disrupts their simple yet fragile balance.

Ideal for intermediate to advanced learners (B2 to C2 levels*) who are looking to use their French outside of a traditional French language class.

No pre-requirement in literature, come as you are with what you know or don't!

Do you love learning French?

Do you miss taking interesting classes following a syllabus, but not being stressed by exams?

The online themed courses by Dr. Anaïs might be just what you need!

Dr. Anaïs offers intensive French courses focused on specific topics. For each course, the syllabus is designed and the content is curated with great care by me, Anaïs. When working on these courses, I put all the skills I have sharpened while teaching at universities in the past 10 years to bring you the most exciting, fascinating, and structured journey to improve your French and explore French culture.

The classes are intentionally small in order to build a nice community and for me to give each learner the attention they deserve as they grow their French.
