he is retired. But he needs a visa to "live" in the US....if he came to a language school he could get a visa to study english, something like that.... since GC is not a option!

 

Attending language school so he can hang out in the US won't work at this age and is just wrong and illegal to do (aka immigration fraud)

Language school to study English....on an F1.....from France?   LOL.

 

Please let us know how that application goes.

As I said above, if he tries to apply for a student visa there's a very high chance it will be denied, which then means he's not likely to be able to travel on ESTA/VWP for quite some time either. 

 

So if he wants to be able to continue to travel to visit her, I wouldn't risk it personally. I think they just need to forget it for a while, until they are ready to get married. They can keep visiting each other until that point, and then when they're ready get married and your boss can petition him for an immigrant visa. Maybe by then she'll be nearer citizenship so it'll be quicker too.
