Lodging Study Learn French Language in France FrenchLanguageHolidays

Hôtel Continental

The staff can arrange three forms of lodging. Arrangements can be made for those who wish to live with a French host family that offer varying accommodations from a single room with kitchen privileges to an entire flat with complete family privacy. Those who prefer hotel accommodations can choose between a hotel room with or without meals or a modern efficiency apartment sleeping from 4-6 persons.
Shopping facilities abound and the majority of these accommodations are within walking distance of the school. The important thing is to make your arrangements early so that there are possibilities for choice. The Riviera's accommodations fill very quickly as the season approaches.

Please keep in mind that all the above mentioned lodging facilities are provided at cost by the school. This service requires a great deal of work but earns nothing for the school. We do this with pleasure just to make your visit with us free of hassle and irritation - just imagine having to book your own accomodations via the phone or internet where the renter cannot speak your language - and to obtain for you clean and pleasant living accomodations at the price you can afford. This at-cost service also applies for lunches with our teachers, our excursions, sports actiities and airport transfers. Our reward is only from the tuition fees and your satisfaction with our school.

Accommodation in French families

This accommodation is the most affordable and the most pleasant! You will get an insight in the daily life and customs of a French family. You will learn to understand the language faster. To live in a French family means that you will have to accept the family’s rules and customs. You are a member of their home, but also a guest. Our families are spread all over town but never further than 2 km (ca. 1-1/4 mile) from the center. Families with single rooms plus breakfast or evening meal are often located in modern residences possibly with a private bathroom.

Extensive freedom is given during the day

Family boarding house for youth (Youth Hostel)

She is also one of your substitute teachers and knows both the pupils and their shedules.

Meals: Seven days a week, breakfast and evening meals. If you choose full board you will have lunch at school Monday - Friday (see price list on the link Fees).

Family apartments

These can be made available for visiting families where, at least, two members wish to attend the course. During June we have a fairly large number of available apartments.
These are mostly 2-3 room efficiencies, often on the ground floor of a two-family house, sometimes in a suburban section of the city. A car is often a necessity.

Price example:

4 rms/ up to 6 pers in the inner city Euro 95 per day
3 rms/2-4 pers. in the inner city Euro 75 per day
2 rms/2-4 pers. in a suburb Euro 50 per day
3 rms/4.5 pers. in the inner city Euro 80 per day

View from an efficiency apartment

Some of these apartments are in older buildings that are in the traditional style. These homes bear the personal tastes of their owners and have character. Like many older homes they contain furniture and appliances of varying age and require a guest who feels that living in France should be an experience that is different from the omnipresent motel milieu. These flats have been obtained through long-time personal contacts and the prices shown are far below those that are available through a rental agency.
