Learn French in France

The 2-week session I attended was excellent; course materials and instruction exceeded all expectations. Administrative process and housing was also excellent. I highly recommend!

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.

I was a student from the USA a few years ago in the 50+ class for beginners. It was wonderful with the classes and the many side trips we took. Loic was my professor and he made the classes interesting and worthwhile. The residence was comfortable and I took the bus provided by the school each day. I hope Io return for more classes in the future.

My son and daughter stayed at the CIA in July for one week and found the experience life changing.

10/10 would recommend this school to top up your French for the professional world. The first day started with a comprehensive written test that had at least 10 pages. My teacher Kathy was engaging, helpful, resourceful and lots of fun! Overall an excellent teacher with an excellent teaching style that included written work, debates within the class and learning about different cultures that use the French language. Thanks to Kathy, I was able to improve my French in the 2 weeks I was there.

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!

I've been aware of this school for a few years and I can assure you that it is fantastic. The professionalism of all those who work there is particularly notable. They are very accessible and strive to resolve all of those little problems that can come up, especially when you are accompanying a class of rowdy students.

Honestly my best vacation was there ... I met so many amazing people and learned a lot from the courses, and the dedicated teachers.

Fantastic organisation. Thanks to Anne and the entire CIA team. We will be back next year with our group of 60 students. Everyone was very happy with the lessons, the tours and the host families.

The animateurs were really what helped this trip go along, with their funny jokes and humour, and their games to keep us all entertained, they were vital to making this trip as enjoyable as it was!

Great location: Antibes is a town which is open to the world while also being protected, and there's a breathtaking view from the school's terrace! But beyond that, attention is paid to everything that students need and to the educational requirements of each group. Families are located nearby, the meals provided at the school are varied and of high quality, and, as a bonus, the chef is really nice!

A great experience with my students, who had the chance to stay with French families, take French classes in the morning and enjoy afternoons exploring Antibes and the surrounding French Riviera. I heartily recommend it!

I followed the 4 week intensive B2 then sat the exams at the Sophia centre at end of the last week. That made actual coarse time 3 weeks and 1 day, but there was plenty of intensity to push me to the next level. One lecturer was good, one excellent, and another was the best French prof I've ever had. I'll be going back regularly to polish up!

A very well-organised summer campus with professionals who make themselves accessible to the students and supervisors who are always available to help manage and sort out any situation. An international atmosphere which works very well. The teachers are well trained and motivate the French as a foreign language students.

We were part of a 50+ age group attending a two-week course in French. Classes in the morning and excursions in the afternoon. Celine and Rosa as teachers and Loïc as expedition leader. All three were truly professionals, really. The premises were top class and so was the administration

My kids and I had a real good time at the CIA. We all learnt a lot, there was some activities that the kids did in the afternoon or evening.

This is a fantastic school with great teachers. I also studied in Aix and Cannes, and this was the best. I really appreciated that it was a good blend of structured learning (I need some fire at my feet) and the guided discussions - c'etait superbe! I also enjoyed the multi-national and all-age atmosphere.
