It is no coincidence that professional adults and mature students who want to rapidly acquire fluency in French choose to learn French on the Côte d'Azur, where one of the most renowned schools is located. Founded in 1969, the school's aim is to develop a natural speaking ability by using an unequalled concept, the "Total Approach " in a 'French Only' speaking environment and interactive learning through effective approaches such as the audio-visual methods, practice and real everyday life situations sessions.

This unique intensive " Total Approach " to French is effective because it is applied to an all-day immersion and under the stimulus of small group interaction; thus students are able to apply themselves - analytically and instinctively, systematically and naturally - to learning the language.

In this world-renowned setting, to learn French on the Côte d'Azur, which provides innumerable cultural and sport activities to enhance learning and speaking French, makes it a rich and memorable experience.

Located just outside Nice and only a short drive to Cannes and Monte-Carlo, the school is housed in a luxurious Provençal villa, provides living accommodations in comfortable apartments and is set on the hillside of the lovely harbor of Villefranche-sur-Mer, overlooking the Mediterranean's most beautiful bay. The setting is peculiar to the region and popular with sailing enthusiasts, artists and tourists. All the ingredients are there to make learning French in France an enriching and unforgettable experience.

Transportation is made easy with local buses running every 15 minutes along the cost from Villefranche to Nice, Cannes and Monte-Carlo. The Nice international airport has connections to the major cities of Europe and the world (the taxi fare from Nice Airport to Villefranche should be under 45 Euros). A bus goes from Nice Airport to the Nice Central Bus Station where another bus can be taken to Villefranche. The stop in Villefranche is close to the school and is called "Place de l'Octroi". Nice is also linked to other Riviera cities and Paris by a direct express train.
