General collections

The library offers access to more than 30,000 documents of various categories: novels, French methods, comic books, DVDs, CDs, children’s documents, magazines/newspapers, the majority of which is freely accessible.

  • Learner’s library: hundreds of documents classified according to their French level (A1, A2, B1, B2) thanks to a user-friendly color code.
