Hello,
I am looking for a language school in France (8 weeks).
Do you have any recommendations?

You don't give any useful information, such as your current level, or goals.

In general, this is a forum focusing more on independent learning, also many learn with tutors etc. Why: the classes are considered by most to be the worst way to learn, and I agree. Too much money for far too little value, very low efficiency.

But if you want to take them anyways, look for advice in places focusing on this type of learning. Pick a school with as small groups as possible (not the horrible crowds of 12 people), a school that teaches high levels and exam preparation (even if you don't belong in those groups yet. It means that they are more serious and get students to those achievements somehow, even though slowly and for much more money than what the independent learners spend), and allows switching groups (for example if you learn much faster or slower than the rest) and otherwise shows interest in your individual needs and progress. Ask about the coursebook they follow, to know more about the curriculum.

Even if you sign up for a class, study much more on your own, in order to progress well and not to have just superficial knowledge. Try to be as little affected by your classmates as possible (because they can damage your pronunciation and you'll probably teach each other various kinds of mistakes), and avoid any English like a plague. Going to a small town might help with that.
