Quite different from intense immersion.
The Aragon Residence was comfortable with very welcoming and helpful staff. Comfy bed, strong, hot shower, simple but very adequate kitchenette. The walk from 🏖️Aragon Residence to breakfast up the hill and then to class at the port building was quite different from the advertised 10-15 minute walk and too much for me. I found the school staff to be very approachable and positive. I was sick with a URI and had mal-functioning hearing aids during my two weeks and my participation was limited. Even so, I don’t believe I learned anything which advanced my knowledge of french language and customs or my french conversation skill. There was very little opportunity for professorial input to improve my conversation. I am sorry that I missed excursions to Monaco, StPaul de Vence and Cannes because of feeling sick and tired. I enjoyed the Fragonard tour and bus trip. All in all, this isn’t the school for me but I am glad of the opportunity to visit Antibes and have the CIA experience.
