Free Education in France?

[jimkliew]

I heard in France, some Universities have classes that are free and open to all. Is that true? Thx.

Well, it's "free" (~1k/year) ; and "open to all" (i.e. you can enroll in 1st year if you have a high school diploma). If by 'some class' you mean anyone can just attend some classes, I have never heard of that; you're supposed to be enrolled as far as I know. Are you referring to something in particular?

French universities are often seriously good value, but you have to speak French well.

My dad is going on sabbatical to teach at a French business school for a year next June. He doesn't know a word of French. It will be interesting.
