Teachers focus on creating a friendly atmosphere that supports the development of oral skills so everyone can build confidence.


Accommodation

Students stay at the 'Campus Carnot', located a 10-minute walk from the city center and the beaches. Listed as a historic monument, the campus offers a fully integrated and secure living environment.

Facilities include classrooms, shared double rooms, a restaurant, a swimming pool, and sports fields.


Activities

Cannes 12/15 is the experience of an activity program designed for teenagers seeking independence and adventure.

Each week’s program: an immersion in “Adrenaline” activities such as Laser Quest, Jump XL, and a treetop adventure park, followed by a “Fun” half-day offering relaxing moments at the beach, snorkeling exploration, or sailing outings.

On weekends, it's time to get away with excursions to iconic places such as Nice and Monaco, or a refreshing day at Aquasplash.

Evenings on campus are full of entertainment: barbecues, cinema, McDonald's, beach parties, disco, games, and cabarets await students.

A day in Cannes

Cannes

Cannes, 30 km from Nice Côte d’Azur airport, is an easy-going city set along long sandy beaches.

Students will get around on foot and can enjoy the very trendy “Croisette” as well as the pretty “Plages du Midi”, less sophisticated and perhaps better suited to what they are looking for. There they will meet French teenagers their age.

FAQ

Why take a language stay in Cannes?

Cannes is a city where young people will quickly find their bearings and make French friends on the beaches of La Bocca.
More than on the upscale Croisette, it is around these beaches frequented by French teens, behind the old port, that students will find the friendly and financially accessible ecosystem we look for at that age. The team of activity leaders will never be far away...

Why choose the “Cannes Essential” program?

Choosing Cannes means choosing a rich language program that combines theoretical French learning with putting lessons into practice through role-play modules with the local community.
Through these modules, young people will therefore experience working toward a shared goal in addition to learning French. They will gain confidence to conduct useful exchanges in real life.

How old are participants in the “Cannes Essential” language stay?

The program is open to young people aged 12 to 17. However, it should be noted that 15- to 17-year-olds are the majority on campus.
It should be noted that 16/17-year-olds can benefit from a parental exit permission allowing them to return to campus at 01:00 on Friday and Saturday nights.
