​​Speak a French that feels truly yours

​

I'm Violaine, founder of Bespoke French Lessons Paris, with over 20 years of experience teaching French language and culture. With a background in French literature, art history (École du Louvre), and language psychology (Sorbonne), I design lessons that combine precision with creativity.

​

Many advanced learners come to me not because they lack grammar—but because they want to speak French that feels natural, expressive, and alive. They want to choose their register, adapt their tone, and grasp the cultural subtleties that French carries in every sentence.

Whether you’re writing creatively, sharing ideas, or navigating everyday life in France, I help you find your own rhythm and confidence—in Paris or online.

Lessons That Reflect You

​

Each course is shaped around your interests and voice. Whether you're drawn to literature, history, daily life, or professional communication, we build lessons through conversation and cultural depth. Neuroscience supports what I've always known: language sticks when it's connected to your identity.

Want to debate art, explore the nuances of a novel, or simply speak more freely? We'll go there—together.

This isn’t textbook French. It’s your French.

Expert Tutors, Personalized Style

​

I was the first to offer this kind of coaching—and I’m proud to work alongside:

• Brice, a Paris historian and published author, known for sessions that weave urban lore and history into rich conversation.

• Marie-Hélène, a university professor of French literature and language, and a translator of poetry, whose calm, rigorous approach blends grammar mastery with literary depth.​

​

We’re here to help you go beyond fluency—toward a language that feels personal, fluent, and culturally attuned.
