Cours Florent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cours Florent is a french drama school, created in 1965 by François Florent and currently located in the XIXe arrondissement of Paris, rue Archereau. The school also owns the Théâtre du Marais.
The Cours Florent offers classes for students beginning at the age of seven, and offers childrens' works, teenagers' works, and a three-years program to learn acting. The school also has a specialized class to prepare students for the competitive examination of the prestigious Conservatoire national supérieur d'Art dramatique.
