I do not recomend going to France if you don’t already know some Frecnch. I got though my PhD ok in English, and leanring enough french to be able to by food and similar is not hard. But I did not have a social life for over 2 years and it was terrible, and eventually I left to finish my PhD from Sweden (my home country).
My plan was to learn french when I got there, and I tried. But I’m also slow at languges, and never got good enough to have a real conversation.
I recomend going to an English speaking country, or go to one of the small western Europe countries, (Nordics, Netherlands, etc) where most peopel speek good English.
If you decide to go to Grenoble anyway, I can’t help you with courses. My PhD program required very few coursers, and I think all the ones I took where for PhD students only. And the only good one whas a one-time course about particle phsics given by a German post-doc, who is probably not there anymore.
I don’t know much about masters programs in general. I did a undergraduate and master roled in to one program, which is common in Sweden, so I never had to look for a master.
I recomend joining this slack and ask in the applying-for-granschool channel.
