Merci Beaucoup, Centre International D'antibes!
If you're truly interested in learning French and still having an enjoyable environment in which to practice your language skills, I would strongly recommend the Centre International D'antibes. I have been going to the Centre International D'antibes each summer for several years. The teachers are very talented and you are placed with other students at your same level, despite your age. I typically have taken the Standard course, which goes from 9-12:30 each day. However, one also has the option to do a more intensive course with afternoon sessions. With the metro, you can easily visit Nice or Monte Carlo, or you can take a separate bike path along the coast to Nice and enjoy lunch at La Voglia (ask for Patrick, the waiter). Nice has a major airport which makes travel from the US quite efficient. When my children were younger, I also had them take lessons in their junior program. They still have very fond memories of their time at the Centre International D'antibes. It is without hesitation that I would give the Centre International D'antibes my highest recommendation. I've had such a great experience each year that I plan to attend courses this June. I look forward to seeing the professors who have taught me in the past. I cannot thank them enough for all they've done for me. To all the teachers that have spent time working with me on my language, I extend a very heartfelt "merci beaucoup"!
