CESA Plus Points

  • Suits adults (mainly in their 20’s and up)
  • Ideal for students year round, but at its most popular in the May/September period
  • Good course options and great location in south of France
  • Wide range of residential accommodation offered
  • A sociable college, but gets really busy in the summer, so please book early!

My teacher (Sophie) was excellent. A great deal of problems for adult beginners is that most grammatical structures are written for children, but Sophie always managed to place the work into an adult situation regardless of the worksheet.

The location of the school was very good, everyone was very approachable. There was a very comfortable atmosphere. It felt like nothing was too much trouble.

The French language school in Antibes was established in 1985 and offers a wide range of French language courses including general language courses & DELF exam preparation and the college is always busy when the weather is warm (becoming completely full over the peak summer months, so if that’s when you want to go – book early!). The college suits adults looking to put their French skills into practise for business or social reasons, students revising prior to exams and Gap students requiring a Languages for Life course for long term study.

The French language school consists of 10+ classrooms and a dedicated kitchen for cookery lessons in a traditional building, located in the scenic old town area, near the Provencal market, the port of Antibes and the beach. Facilities include a small internet cafe and drinks and snack machines on site. There are lots of shops, classic French restaurants and bars in the area.

The majority of classes take place at this main school near the port from 2026 onwards, but some may take place in the Chateau school when required.

NB: Students cannot choose which site they are placed in.
