Description: The Centre Méditerranéen French Language school, established in 1952, is located in the heart of the Côte d'Azur, 12 miles from Nice in the West and Italy in the East. It is a short walk from the seaside and also from Monaco. Set in a picturesque park planted with an abundance of flowers and trees, the center overlooks the Mediterranean sea. Since its inception, the school of French Language and Civilization has welcomed more than 210,000 students from 70 different countries.

The Centre welcomes teenagers (age 13 to 17) of all nationalities during the summer and combines French Language study with sports and cultural activities. The staff consisting of administrative and cultural directors, youth leaders and teachers keep the program running smoothly.

The youth leaders live at the center with the students and help solve any problems they may have in adapting to life at the center while conscientiously overseeing all activities. Students are supervised 24 hours a day.
A health assistant is available at the center around the clock.

The French language teachers are university graduates, specializing in the teaching of French as a foreign language. Competent and dynamic, they endeavor to ensure that French is the language spoken and encourage the students to use their French language skills at all times.

The laboratory and library are open from 2 to 7 p.m. and offer the student the possibility of working individually to perfect his/her knowledge of the French language.
