Let us
speak French
My name is Vincent Paul and, to improve your spoken French, I offer you conversations, remotely or in your presence, suited to your level and, of course, with enthusiasm!

My path
Je suis né à Lyon, au printemps, près de la cathédrale et du théâtre romain.
A professional rider of show-jumping thoroughbreds, I worked in Burgundy and in Normandy. It is therefore in the equestrian world that my first true passion was born.
Let us start talking, remotely
In an atmosphere of trust, the words come and pronunciation follows.
Where you are
Anywhere, conversations one to one or in a group, suited to your level.
Whole days, in small groups
Working abroad taught me that a language truly becomes ours once it is part of everyday life: at work, on the road, or simply sharing a table.
Today I would like to put that experience at the service of spoken French, by organising immersion weekends or weeks in your city, in small groups.
Talking, reading, sharing a meal: so many convivial moments to live French naturally, warmly and with pleasure.
Vincent Paul in your city
I would like to bring spoken French to life in your city, at the invitation of the local francophile community.

The Crow
and the Fox
Jean de La Fontaine · 1668
«Maître Corbeau, sur un arbre perché,
Tenait en son bec un fromage.
Maître Renard, par l’odeur alléché,
Lui tint à peu près ce langage:
Hé! bonjour, Monsieur du Corbeau.
Que vous êtes joli! que vous me semblez beau!»
Born in Lyon, in the spring
At 26, driven by the wish to discover new horizons, I decided to settle in Biarritz. Spurred on by the beauty and the character of the region, I founded «Balade au Pays basque» there, and then «Romane Design», two ventures that let me give free rein to my creativity and my taste for enterprise.
Curious by nature and always drawn to the outdoors, I have also played Basque pelota and taken up hiking, surfing and sailing.
In 2000 I moved to Madrid with my family. I founded «Pierdekor», a company devoted to the finest Romano-Byzantine micro-mosaic in the world, made in a workshop in Anatolia, with its head office in Istanbul.
A little later, I advised my children on the founding of «Vent intérieur», their own company.
Today I offer you conversations and readings in French, remotely or in my presence in your city, to improve your French day after day.
Today, with Vincent Paul, I have created a new approach, built on alternating conversation and reading aloud, allowing a better assimilation of spoken French.
Get in touch
If you would like to speak French and make progress through conversation, write me a few words about yourself, your needs and what you are hoping for. I will then get in touch.
In French, Spanish, English or Italian.
