What's
the best time to book my stay?
 |
The best time to
book your stay is
as soon as possible.
Very often, our students
book their summer
stay 6 months in
advance. By booking
early, you have the
widest range of courses
and accommodation
to choose from (our
most popular options
are booked up quickly!)
and, in return, we
have the best opportunity
of meeting all your
needs and requests.
This ensures that
you are completely
satisfied with your
booking. |

Do
I need insurance?
 |
European students
should bring their
E111 form.
A civil liability insurance is not mandatory but strongly
recommended |
|
Is
it possible to book courses only?
 |
All the courses
we offer with accommodation
are also available
if you don't need
accommodation. You
will attend classes
with students accommodated
in our residences
or with our host
families. |
|
Is
it possible to book accommodation
only? |
| No. It is only
possible to book
an accomodation if
you book a course
program at the same
time. |
| |
|
Which
country do most of the students
come from? |
|
What
is the average length of stay? |
3 weeks, for the
short term programs.
We advise students to stay for more than a week, as
it is too short a time to notice any progress in your
French speaking. If you can only attend courses for
one week, you will have to go for Intensive 1 courses. |
