Montpellier is an ideal destination for a French language course for teenagers. The city centre is mainly pedestrianised, public transport is excellent, accommodation is close to the school and shops and the beaches are within easy reach.
Duration
One week minimum, we advise to take at least 2 weeks for a better immersion.

Teenagers aged 16 -18 years old. Younger people can take part to a family course when travelling with their parents.
Accommodation
Full board accommodation with a hostfamily. Breakfast and Dinner every day at the family’s. Lunches are taken at local partner shops during week days and with the family during weekends.
Young people stay with a host family, as this allows them to be fully immersed in the French way of life in a safe environment. All of our families are vetted and provide us with a criminal record extract (‘extrait de casier judiciaire’). Your child can stay in the same family as his/her friend(s) if requested, and travel into school with them. Families are carefully selected according to their location- from 5 minutes on foot from the school to 35 minutes away by tram- and for the quality of their welcome. This is a wonderful opportunity to discover a new culture and meet new friends !
