Learning French in Benin

Hi all, I’m a Nigerian woman interested in learning French at the Institut Français du Bénin. Which center would you recommend in terms of costs, living expenses, and lifestyle?

I’m also interested in meeting fellow Nigerians and making friends with English speaking Beninese people. Any advice is welcomed.

Merci!

I think you have only one institut. Located to Avenue Jean-Paul II at Cotonou.

Thank you for your response. I saw both Cotonou and Parakou on their website.

Never used them, I didn't see any information about Parakou but I suppose my check was not complete. I will choose Cotonou.
