Françoise Gravier v City of Liège (C-293/83) was an important freedom of movement case in European law concerning non-discrimination in access to vocational education.

In order to claim those, the European Court of Justice's (ECJ) decisions in R (Bidar) v London Borough of Ealing[1] and Förster v Hoofddirectie van de Informatie Beheer Groep[2] state that a person can be required to have lived in a country for five years prior to a claim.

Françoise Gravier, a French national, applied in 1982 to study cartoon drawing at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in the Belgian city of Liège.

After refusing to meet the fee, Gravier was rejected by the Académie and her Belgian study visa was revoked.

[3]It also ruled that learning cartoon art counted as "vocational training" and thus qualify for the same legal status.
