French course in La Rochelle, France!
Study French in a city blessed with beautiful architecture and a wealth of history! La Rochelle is known as ‘La Ville Blanche’, a reference to its gleaming limestone buildings. A French course in La Rochelle will introduce you to a true walking city, where you can wander for hours, enraptured by the incredible architecture all around. Most picturesque of all is the ‘Vieux Port’ (Old Port), guarded by imposing medieval towers and populated by glistening yachts.
The oldest tower (Tour Saint Nicolas) offers superb views of the old town, where cobbled streets are lined with cosy cafés and excellent seafood restaurants. The area around La Rochelle produces some of France’s finest wines, as well as the renowned cognac brandy. Off the coast lie several islands, including the stunning Ile de Ré, with its gorgeous beaches and wonderfully relaxed lifestyle.

Accommodation
Without doubt, the best way to completely immerse yourself in the French language and culture is by living with a host family. Our school arranges accommodation with carefully selected local families, who’ll gladly help you practice your French and introduce you to their way of life. You’ll also sample French cuisine with your new family, with bed & breakfast and half board (two meals per day) options available.
If you learn French in La Rochelle during July or August, you can choose to live in a self-catering student residence instead. The residence is just a five-minute walk away from the school, and living with your fellow students is a great way to socialise more!
