A Christian Liberal Arts Extension College in French Language and Cultural Studies

The Jacques Lefevre Institute is an evangelical extension college in French language and cultural studies. A non-profit corporation in both the U.S. and France, the Institute has its own Center, called Domaine l’Estuaire, in Franceville on the Normandy coast. Working in partnership with North American Christian College and University French Departments, the Institute exists to help Christian college students grow in their use of the French language, in their love for French culture and people, and in their appreciation for the spiritual heritage and opportunities that exist within the francophone world.

Franceville is a small town on the Normandy coast just 2 ½ hours from Paris and 20 minutes from Caen. Cafés, shops, crêperies, bakery, butcher and grocer provide many opportunities to connect with French people and practice your French on a daily basis. The town square and kiosk host a number of activities including concerts and open-air markets.
