The three week course was excellent! It was well structured and covered not only french grammar but culture also. The teachers were very helpful and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable regardless of their level. I was the oldest student there but not once did i feel out of place. It was a good learning environment for young and old!
My accomodation was comfortable, private and in a lovely neighbourhood. My hostess was friendly and patient with a good sense of humour :) The only criticism relates to the location - a bit removed from the city center and public transport was sparse to the area on weekends.

I thought the course was excellent. The accommodation was excellent, i was staying with a host family and they were so nice and friendly and welcoming. The staff at the school were BRILLIANT, i loved almost all my teachers (only one that i didn't take to!) and they were always nice and friendly and helpful. there was one "excursion" - a meal for students and teachers together - that i wished was on every week.

Time with my host family contributed to the learning process.

I really enjoyed it, we covered a variety of topics through a variety of mediums: reading, listening etc. Grammar was interspersed throughout the topics. I stayed with a really friendly family with a clean and comfortable room. I hope to stay in touch with them.

The course was well run - focused on conversation but the instructors were well-versed in grammar when needed. Used a 'theme for the week' to teach (I had 'fine arts' and 'global warming') which I enjoyed but those (with less open minds) disliked. Can't say enough good things about the accomodation. The hostess was excellent. She was knowledgeable and experienced and ensured that I was comfortable and I knew what was going on. Super experience. I would have preferred if the school had had more 'field trips'. They had some workshops (making macaroons was excellent!) and trips, but the instructors on the trips, while pleasant, added no real value. I did a lot of things on my own, interacting with the friendly people of Rouen. There was enough to keep me busy for 2 weeks!

The course had a good mix of basic rules of grammar and conversation about daily life and about issus of public interest (ecology, migration, etc). The teachers were excellent.
