Ask for the party suite room 101. Cute balcony overlooking the school courtyard and volleyball court. Oh yeah there's also a beach! Imagine falling asleep listening to the timeless currents of pure bliss floating into your room at night. -Fall '98

Graduate of Summer 1991. I didn't have proper phonetic... Grammar... Verbal communication until I went there. I even was in stage theatre acting (Lead part - La Nuit Atomique). The BEST moments. My French accent GREATLY improved acting.

I studied here for four months and would go back in a heartbeat if I was returning to the area. Pros: GORGEOUS location. It is a little bit out of town but Cannes has a reliable bus system and you could walk to the city center in about 25 minutes. There are many young people, it's sociable and easy to make friends from all over the world. Easy to go down to the beach after lunch and enjoy the sun. The teachers are experienced, professional, knowledgable, and friendly. My French improved greatly. There wasn't a crazy amount of homework. If you live on campus, it's safe & secure, and relatively clean from what my friends said (I stayed with a wonderful host family). Cannes is one of the most beautiful towns in the world, I highly recommend this town if you want to study in France. Cons: Sometimes they have big groups of high schoolers for a few weeks so it can get a bit noisy and chaotic on campus. It's all international students, so it's not conducive to meeting locals if you spend most of your time here. You have to walk a little ways to get to most restaurants if you're staying on campus. Some of my friends got irritated with the curfew rules and strict surveillance on visitors, but that did help keep the place more secure. True, the food wasn't fabulous, but they did accommodate my vegetarianism and food restrictions my friends had such as lactose or gluten intolerance, and they tried to serve a variety of different foods. Overall, don't let any bad reviews deter you. Maybe my American upbringing gave me low standards re food, but it really wasn't a big issue.

The best school you could ever go to to learn French. Amazing staff. I went there for study abroad and went back because I loved it so much.
