French Classes
Promoting French Culture in our Community
At Ça et Là, we're dedicated to sharing the beauty of French language and culture. That’s why we’ve partnered with the Alliance Française de Louisville (AFL) - Louisville’s number one French language and cultural organization.
The AFL offers French classes for all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners, taught by experienced instructors, including Laurent Farina, co-owner of Ça et Là and a French native. Whether you're looking for structured group courses or private lessons, AFL provides a welcoming and immersive environment for all ages.
