Learn French in Nice, France

Our school in Nice

Our French language school in Nice, France, is located in the heart of Nice, just a short walk from the beach and old town. This well-equipped school, located in a beautiful building, private garden, has a library and multi-media room with Internet access for students. At busy times, the school uses a second center, with similar facilities, located in a detached mansion house with extensive gardens, near the university.

Courses

Students at our school in Nice can learn French on a ‘Standard’ French language course (20 lessons/week), or else on an ‘Intensive’ French language course (30 lessons/week). You can also enrol on a ‘Combined French Course’, combining 20 group lessons/week with 5 or 10 private French lessons/week.

Our language school in Nice also offers a French for Teachers course and DELF exam preparation courses. In the summer, our Nice language school runs an A Level Revision Course, for students preparing for this exam.

For students in their fifties and over who wish to learn French with students of a similar age, our French language school in Nice offers ‘Club 50+’ French courses. This course combines a French language course with a program of visits and activities.

Accommodation

Our school arranges accommodation with carefully selected French host families and in private studio apartments. If you stay with a French host family, you will be able to practise with your family the French language skills that you learn at the school.
Our school in Nice also offers ‘French host’ accommodation for students who wish to live in a French speaking environment, but want to be able to cook for themselves. These ‘French hosts’ are not families, but are usually students or young couples.

Activities

To help you use the French language skills that you learn on the course, as well as to ensure that you enjoy your stay in Nice, our school offers an extensive cultural program including French films, theme evenings, parties, excursions, and even, in the summer, sailing and scuba diving.

How to get there

Students who stay in French host families are met at Nice Airport free-of-charge, on arrival.

Nice(ly) Done!

With palm trees, the sparkling Mediterranean, sunshine galore and cheap as chips flights from my local Bristol airport, Nice was the natural choice for my French course!

But I soon discovered that the fact that Nice was so easy to travel to was just the icing on the cake... the city is gorgeous! I stayed with a family in the north part of the city, close to my school in Cimiez among the lovely (and might I add, very posh!) traditional French villa homes. From up there on the hill you could look out and get the most wonderful views over the city. One of my favourite times of day would be mid-evening, taking a walk after dinner in the warm South of France air, and watching dusk settle over the town and the twinkling sea ahead.
