In peaceful surroundings close to the town center, we welcome students to our
French language school, an old Provençal farmhouse with bright, modern classrooms.
The school’s terrace and restaurant offer breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean coast. Far more than just an educational space, the school is also a great place to stay while
learning French in France!
When this school reaches maximum capacity, students can take their
French courses
at our other school, Le Port – a small building with eight classrooms in an old fisherman’s house at the far end of the marina.
Students can stay in our Aragon residence, which is close to the town center, or with
host families selected by the school.
The Aragon residence is located a 15-minute walk from the school and offers fully renovated, comfortable studios in a quiet area close to the town centre and the beaches.
It is also home to the school’s student community, so it is a great place to meet people and speak French.
