About the Courses
The courses comprise a range of tuition and activities. Teaching takes place in the main house, but there are many spaces around the property equipped with desks for private study. A typical day will comprise French tuition, practical language exercises and assignments, outings and activities. Students are kept busy, but during down-time, they have access to a large games room which is equipped with table tennis, pool, and equipment to play music. as well as the swimming-pool in the summer months.
Getting there
The house is 30 minutes away from Toulouse airport. Both Gatwick and Heathrow airports have regular daily flights to Toulouse airport, and students will be collected on arrival at the airport. It is advisable to contact the organisers for recommendations on flight times which tie in with the course start and finish times.
