Located close to a pleasant park, our partner school is set in a beautiful period building called “Le Vieux Lavoir”, which combines the charm of the ancient with the comfort of the new. The 16 air-conditioned classrooms are spread over 3 floors and provide a perfect setting for lively and interactive French classes. There is a multimedia resource centre and students will enjoy two sunny terraces and a green garden with a lovely pond. The city centre of Aix-en-Provence is at walking distance and two bus lines serve the school, with the bus stop right in front of the entrance.

Madame Paul era una mujer muy limpia y que cocinaba muy bien y en buena cantidad, pero era obligatorio desayunar y cenar con ella, a las 7:30 y 19:00 respectivamente, incluso fines de semana. No te guardaba la cena en la nevera si un día querías llegar más tarde para cenar. Esto debería cambiarse. Entiendo que lo hacía porque es una señora mayor y viuda y se siente sola, pero no es aceptable, porque si pagas por desayuno y cena, deberías tener derecho a esas comidas aunque el sábado prefieras desayunar a las 9:00 y cenar a las 21:00 al llegar de una excursión.

I really enjoyed staying with M and Mme Baduel-Cahen. Their conversation was at least as important in improving my French as the lessons. They are extremely cultured especially in music/literature and history. I went with them to a concert on the first evening and to the theatre later in the week. I had a good sized bedroom with good study facilities. The bathroom and toilet were shared with the hosts and a bit cramped but well maintained. A Swedish student was in the self contained cellar apartment. The hosts were devotees of bio and organic food so the menu was at times a bit plain for my taste. I could not have had more friendly and helpful hosts who treated me like a true friend. Thankyou very much.

« Super teachers and dynamic interesting discussions with the other students in the class. I think I was very lucky with my class mates and that the class was only 6 or 7 students probably because of time of year. I was just at the bottom end so far as speaking ability went but could understand everything that was said. By the end of two weeks my speaking was much more confident. »

For example, you can go hiking, rock-climbing or paragliding and the vast offer of water sports in the Mediterranean is only 35 kilometres away. As regards culture, its summer music festivals, Festival d’Art Lyrique d’Aix-en-Provence and the Zic-Zac Festival, attract fans of opera, classical music and more modern rhythms. In turn, during the autumn, the French song festival of the Aix region makes its appearance in October in order to complete the agenda for those who love the expression of French in musical tones.
