Classes

Classes are organised according to the students’ age, their interests and the group objectives.

  • General French classes
  • Specialised classes: exam preparation, business French, medical French, tourism and hospitality French, etc.
  • Classes combined with a cultural activity or sport: French and French heritage, French and French wine, French and golf, etc.

Sessions are organised around an activity, enabling the students to communicate as much as possible in French, increasing their fluency: role-plays, questionnaires, debates and other activities…

You choose the class frequency. For example, 15 classes a week leaves free time in the afternoon. A more intensive learning program of 20 to 25 classes a week would maximise your French language learning.

If you prefer not taking French classes, we have plenty of other options available. We would be happy to help you organize a program of activities and excursions to help you discover the city, the surroundings and the French culture.

Activities

We organise plenty of leisure, cultural and sports activities so you can discover France in your own way, through your own interests. Guided tours, excursions, sports, shows, food and wine tastings, social events, and much more! We know the region and its seasonal events well, so we can adapt our program to ensure that you enjoy an unforgettable and well-rounded French experience!

We are aware of the difference between each group and all groups will be treated accordingly : we are here to make sure that get the most from your time in France.

Accommodation

We offer a range of accommodation options that take into account your French learning goals, your budget, the length of your stay, and of course the composition of your group (number of people, ages, etc.).

Families

If you want to discover French life, be part of a family, practice and improve your language skills, then staying with a host family is the perfect choice for you. Our families, carefully selected by our accommodation service, will welcome you into their warm and friendly homes. You will be able to share varied meals with family members and join in conversations.

When traveling in a group, we take care to select families based on your expectations: individual or shared accommodation within the same family, proximity to host families, etc.
Everyone spends the evening with their host family, then the group meets up in the morning for the day’s activities.

Group members can also meet up in the evening at a restaurant, for example, or for an outing after dinner with their respective host families.

Our accommodation managers ensure that host families meet strict selection criteria.

Residence halls

These international residence halls offer rooms and amenities to be shared with other residents: showers, WC and kitchen. These are often communal areas that encourage socialising with other residents from different countries. In some residence halls, rooms are equipped with a private shower and/or a small kitchen area.

This type of housing is perfect for groups who are looking for an economical stay in France: you can enjoy the independence of having your own room, coming together as a group every evening in the common areas.

Apart hotels and serviced apartments

These are residential buildings with fully equipped studios or small apartements generally rented per week. All accommodations have a private shower or bathroom, a kitchen area and a living space with a table for meals. Typically, bed and bath linen is provided.

The advantage of apart hotels is the large range of hotel services on offer.

This type of accommodation combines independent living and the amenities of a fully equipped apartment, with (various levels) of hotel services. The advantages of this type of accommodation for a group, is that you can all be together on one site. In addition, you can benefit from a certain level of comfort, like a private bathroom and dining room, you can also get together in an apartment for supper now and then!

Hotels

We offer a large range of hotels to meet every budget.

A hotel stay means you can enjoy freedom of movement and greater proximity to the school. As well, the daily services offered by hotels provide a real level of comfort. Each member of your group can enjoy his or her room, meeting up after another exciting day.

Meals

Our schools are in or near the town centre, and close to many snack bars, restaurants and cafés.

If you choose the option of full board in a host family, they will provide you with a packed lunch for weekdays. Evening meals are eaten with your family to encourage your language practice. Depending on the option you choose, you can alternate eating in with the family, and eating out with the other members of your group.

You should be aware that breakfast in France is a light meal, and doesn’t include hot or savoury foods, unless you are staying in a hotel, which often provides a savoury buffet (cheese, meat, etc.).

If there are group members with special dietary requirements (vegetarian, allergies, etc.) or medical requirements, you must inform us beforehand.

Transfers

We organise transfers upon your arrival according to your type of stay, the size of your group, your accommodations and your budget.

Our team is ready to furnish price estimates for a package tailored to your needs, the size of your group and the length of your stay. Contact us today!

Safety

We do everything we can to ensure the safety of all our students, regardless of age, during their stay. We recommend 1 chaperone for every 15 students, to ensure their safety at all times.

Host families enforce a curfew for students under the age of 18. Each student is aware of the rules for community living and must follow these rules.

Our groups testify

«Tout le monde aux ateliers FL Nice a fait tout son possible pour que mes élèves et moi-même passions une expérience productive et positive. Non seulement ils ont pris toutes les dispositions pour les hébergements à domicile et les transferts, mais ils m’ont aidé à inscrire mon fils dans une école locale et ont organisé les visites à Antibes et à Eze que mes élèves avaient spécifiquement demandées. De plus, les élèves ont apprécié leurs cours et ont fait de réels progrès en français. Je n’attendais pas beaucoup de Nice avant ce voyage, et maintenant je pense déjà à ma prochaine visite.

Oui, il y a beaucoup de touristes, et certains quartiers correspondent aux stéréotypes de la jet-set de la Côte d’Azur, mais j’ai été impressionnée par la beauté naturelle, la gentillesse et la courtoisie générale des Niçois, la bonne bouffe et – en tant que personne qui a vécu pendant de nombreuses années à Paris – la météo! “

Susan D., USA, Professeur d'université

«L’école de Bordeaux dispose d’un excellent personnel enseignant qui est prêt à faire un effort supplémentaire pour aider les étudiants à vivre une bonne expérience. Les professeurs sont toujours très accommodants et répondront à toutes les questions des étudiants, même si ce n’est pas le sujet.

Les professeurs étaient très expérimentés et ont permis aux étudiants de progresser en français. Ils ont fait un excellent travail en évaluant chaque élève depuis le début, puis en élaborant un plan de progression. C’était le réel avantage pour les étudiants car ils ont pu améliorer leurs compétences linguistiques et grammaticales, apprendre une terminologie et des phrases plus avancées, approfondir leurs connaissances culturelles et accomplir des tâches spécifiques liées à la langue / culture, poursuivant et améliorant ainsi leur étude de la langue française.

Le logement en famille d’accueil a été un élément précieux de cette formation. Peu d’anglais a été parlé avec les hôtes, ce qui est toujours le but. Cet aspect de l’immersion a permis un retour sur les résultats de la formation beaucoup plus élevé que celui des étudiants résidant dans un campus ou un hôtel. »
