From April to October, 6-17 year-olds attend our language camp, the most popular in Antibes.
In summer, we expand our list of destinations and the French camp in Cannes plays host to teens whilst the Premium French camp in Juan-les-Pins accommodates kids and teens of all ages for an exclusive program in a unique setting.
Finally, thanks to our partner schools, you can attend a French summer camp in Nice, Biarritz or Paris.
For short-stays of up to 5 weeks, most students opt for our standard courses in the morning or our full-day intensive courses.
Of the students who take classes in the morning, many opt for one of the five thematic stays such as French for seniors, French with Meditation, French with sport, French with Gastronomy and French for the whole family.
Finally, for immersion in France lasting more than 5 weeks, most students register for the "budget stay” package including tuition and accommodation at highly competitive prices.
We are well aware of the requirements of our partner teachers, as well as the need to offer competitive prices and comprehensive logistical support from the moment the school group arrives in France.
Moreover, French courses, activities and accommodation are generally “bespoke” and designed by the teacher in liaison with our teaching department and our “hosting” service.

students have already placed their trust in usEstablished in 1988, our partner-school is universally regarded as the gold standard for those wishing to learn French in Paris.

Our partner ACCORD-PARIS has been awarded the FLE label for providers of French as a foreign language.
In the 30 years I've been doing this job, I've always sought to understand the reasons why foreign teens and adults want to learn to speak French.
I believe that every language offers a unique perspective on the world and whilst English has long since gained global dominance, it seems to me that the benefit of learning French lies simply in the need not to conform to the single world view of the dominant language.
With its sights always set on a fairer society, the revolutionary culture of France has made French an alternative to establishment thinking. As such, perhaps learning French in France carries with it an idea of resistance in the collective imagination of French students who are open enough to come share in our culture.
We thank them from the bottom of our hearts.
Learning French without spending a lot of money is the approach for you if you need to learn a language spoken by 320 million people around the world while sticking to your budget. And it’s worth remembering that French is the fifth most commonly spoken language on the planet, with a presence on five continents!
Opting to study French in France is a great decision. But you then need to find a good school. This isn’t always easy, as there are so many centres out there now offering language immersion courses.
How can you obtain an accurate assessment of your French level? Anyone who is learning a foreign language needs to have some idea of the level they are starting at. It’s also important to know what level you have reached by the end of the course.
Many people take French lessons for fun. But for professional purposes, an official certificate proving the level that you have achieved and offering evidence of your skills is often required. You might be studying French just because you want to, or you might need to learn the language to enrol at an educational institution or find a job. The DELF often offers a good solution.
You’ll no doubt be aware that there are a few colourful expressions that French speakers absolutely love to drop into conversation, but which foreign learners of the language often find impenetrable.
There are many personal and professional reasons for learning French in France.
French may be one of the most beautiful languages in the world and also one of the most widely spoken, with 200 million French-speakers across five continents. Moreover, French is one of the official languages of the UN, NATO, UNESCO and the European Union.
In general, it takes on average at least three months of immersion in France to understand or speak French fluently and six months to understand the implicit meaning and nuances of the language. Obviously, this varies according to your proficiency and the amount of work you put in. In order to learn French quickly, we recommend total immersion.
