It takes one year. In france, you have - A licence (after 3 years) - A Maitrise (at the end of the 4th year) After the Miatrise, you can pass the Bar exam. You can also apply for a Master directly after the Maitrise (former DEA/DESS) =2year. During this time, you can take the Bar Exam when you wan (at the beginning of your first year, second year, or at the end) If you do one of this French Masters (and not the LLM for foreigners], it's not expensive, I think it's around 300 euros per year. When I did my master at paris II Assas, there were foreigners (they did very well). You should call the University. As a foreigner, you have different rules if you want to take the CRFPA (bar exam) and you can specify that French is not your native language, go to the site " www.efb-paris.avocat.fr" Good luck.
