We have just moved to new, freshly renovated premises where we are happy to welcome students with reduced mobility; including students in wheelchairs. The building, which is surrounded by the biggest park in the city is only a 10-minute walk from the town centre. We offer 14 luminous and air-conditioned classrooms; one classroom with several computers (access to magazines/books/DVD); 2 terraces, machines delivering tea & coffee drinks and sweet things; Free Wi-Fi.
Our team is friendly and enthusiastic with solid experience, wishing to assure you to have an enjoyable stay that meets your expectations.
The teaching team is made up of a studies Director, 12 permanent teachers and about 10 temporary teachers who all have diplomas in French as a Foreign Language (4 years of studies at university after the “baccalauréat”) and sound experience in teaching French.
The 7 members of the administrative team look after students from enrolment until the end of their stay: the organization and quality of their studies, accommodation, activities, practical and tourist information, etc.
