“ Fantastic school ”
My daughter and I visited CIA to take an absolute beginners course - my 9 year old attended lessons alone, while I was in a small group. My teacher, Loic, was lots of fun but very knowledgeable, and the class was fast paced but relaxed, a perfect combination.

“ Two wonderful weeks ”
My 10 years old son Sasha has just spent two wonderful weeks at Campus Horticole in Antibes and loved it. Everything worked out perfectly, he was picked up at Nice airport upon traveling there from New York and today he was drooped off at the airport again and sent to his further travels to Croatia. He loved his French classes and loved all the trips and activities they have taken during the last two weeks. Also, he has made some great friends and cannot wait to come back next summer!
