We are a French language school located on the beautyful French Riviera and offer a wonderful way of learning French while enjoying a delightful holiday in France at very reasonable prices. Our name is France Langue & Culture.
We call this concept French language holidays and it basically comprises a morning language course leaving the remainder of the day for leisure and sports. The school offers a package that includes comfortable living accommodations, at most a short walk to the beach, and a Children's Club with activities for the youngsters while the parents are in class. We also organize school excursions to fascinating and interesting places, art museums and wine tastings. Specializing in courses in the French language the school offers a full curriculum for individuals and families each according to their capacity and needs.

Since the school was founded in 1977 thousands of youngsters and adults from all over the world have attended our language courses. The headmaster or le directeur, is Edmond de Saenger, a tall, charming French Professor with the moustache of an Imperial Guardsman who has been a lecturer in French economics at Stockholm University. He created the French language holiday concept so that the teaching is done in small groups, in a pleasant and cheerful ambience using outdoor facilities in beautiful elegant gardens and quiet outdoor terraces under large shade parasols in the shadow of plane trees.
Our classes are taught in three different gardens all in central Saint Raphaël, all close to each other and at most a short walk to the beach.
This coming summer of 2007, our school will be celebrating its 30th anniversary! Each student attending our classes will receive a special anniversary present. How times go by! And the saying goes... “we're still going strong.” We once had a conventional printed brochure with pictures in black and white, later with pictures in color and now... no brochures are needed any longer because of the Internet and our Website. No one asks for a brochure anymore.
It has been a permanent concern for us to keep up with the new technologies and we offer practical and friendly solutions. Our best publicity and reward are the previous students listed when you click on the link REFERENCES! Here below is a quote from a family of four from this summer where the entire family attended different classes:

”The course in St.Raphaël was a great experience for the entire family! Great teachers and the perfect outdoor environment for classes were just the perfect frame for good success. Besides that, nice housing,  the beautiful coast, many different types of beaches and the wonderful spirit Mediterrané completed a wonderful stay! I can strongly recommand the institut of Mr. Edmond v. Saenger!

Our French language school provides a window into France that the tourist seldom sees. It offers a view into French life and customs with the purpose of creating language fluency as quickly as possible. We offer a variety of courses from beginner's lessons up to intensive courses for professionals with reasonably priced living accommodations as part of the course package. You can join your classmates and teachers at lunch in a local restaurant that we also use as our headquarters for our meetings and coffee breaks. You can choose among many optional recreational and academic activities.
