[edit] History
The Cours Florent is known as one of France's most prestigious drama schools, offering classes for students beginning at the age of seven, and offers children's classes, teenagers' classes, and a three-year 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 de Paris (CNSAD). But the Cours Florent is above all famous for its Classe libre (Free class) where many French actors and actresses have studied, with teachers like Francis Huster, Jean-Pierre Garnier, Hervé Falloux and Antonia Malinova
