The global trend toward the increasing popularity of the Japanese language is also apparent in France. Against this backdrop, this article aims to provide a overview of the status of Japanese language education in France, and to examine Japanese language leaners’ perceptions toward Japanese as their second language. To that end, the study explores the ways in which they receive information about Japan, and how images of Japan and the Japanese language very among those learners with different personal interests about Japan. Based on the finding on perceptions toward Japanese, this article also takes the chance to delve into goals in learning Japanese as a second language in France.
