Présentation


French version

Immerse yourself in our intensive French as a Foreign Language courses to update or improve your linguistic and cultural knowledge!

In Nantes, a creative and dynamic city at the gateway to the seaside resorts of the Atlantic coast, you will discover the rich heritage of the western region.

Our courses include general French lessons and cultural activities, based on a different theme each week: feeling at home in Nantes, getting to know the city's gastronomy or discovering its extraordinary heritage...

The morning  sessions focus on acquiring the fundamentals of the French language while the afternoons will be devoted to interactive workshops (written and oral) and a variety of cultural activities.

It is a fun, interactive way to improve your language skills while immersing yourself in French culture!

 








Enrich your stay by discovering the heritage of the Pays de la Loire region with our excursions* to the must-see sites:

  • In Clisson, wander between historic sites and modernity, from Italian charm to the grandiose settings of Hellfest, not forgetting to taste the local wines
  • At the Puy du Fou, watch breathtaking shows that bring French history to life in the heart of one of the most beautiful parks in the world
  • In Pornic, admire the craftsmanship of the earthenware factory or the secrets behind the making of the local cheese, Curé Nantais, while enjoying the sweetness of the seaside or an ice cream with a unique taste at the famous Fraiseraie.

Thanks to our team of experienced lecturers, we guarantee you a rewarding and exciting experience.

Learning objectives and contents

The aim of the lessons is to help students understand how the French language works both orally and in writing, through activities focusing on grammar, vocabulary and phonetics. Content and materials are selected according to the cultural theme of the week, to facilitate rapid vocabulary acquisition.

In the afternoons, workshops and cultural activities will be used to put this learning into practice.

The linguistic and teaching content is based on a communicative and action-oriented approach.

For students enrolled on the DUEF (Diplôme Universitaire d'Études Françaises), the Campus Été courses enable them to continue learning French.

Our programmes are based on the principles of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
