Our instructors are native speakers and certified teachers. A number of them teach abroad during the academic year. All have a considerable experience in teaching French as a foreign language. Our goal is to create a lively classroom environment through the active participation of the students by prioritizing verbal skills.
We teach you to communicate in French as rapidly as possible through role playing, verbal presentations and practical conversation. Although the student is encouraged to speak as much as possible, we do not neglect reading, grammar or enunciation. The teacher listens and corrects.

Lunch with the teacher at the Comptoir des Gones

As an option from Monday through Friday at a typical French restaurant "Comptoir des Gones”. Which is also our meeting place for new arrivals and for the coffee break. It is an opportunity to meet and chat with our teachers and practice your French in a relaxed milieu.
You will be served outdoors under the shade of parasols and plane trees. The menu is varied, with three courses, wine and coffee. There will be a teacher at every table.
The chef, Monsieur Didier, provides such a superb cuisine that this restaurant is one of the most popular in Saint-Raphaël. Other than the students from our school, the patrons of Comptoir des Gones are largely regulars from St-Raphaël.
