Altiplano Training:
Altiplano Training offers a unique French summer school for children and adults in Mens in the south east of France. This is a 5-day immersion course where you are immersed in French life and culture. (6 nights accomodation). Mens is the market town for the Trieves; a wonderful plateau of rolling farmland and forests surrounded by the mountains of the Vercors and the Ecrins in south-east France.

Prefaucon Farm  is our French Language Summer School base: after your French lessons you will put what you learn into practice by living and eating with a French family, and learning about the French way of life. This provides a stimulating, friendly and fun environment which allows you to develop your linguistic ability. Prefaucon Farm is a working farm where Jean-Louis is the gardener, and Sophie looks after her 100 ewes, welcomes guests and cooks very good local food.

Both adults and children are catered for at the summer school. Children are looked after by their own French language teacher and have their own daily program of activities and classes with local children. This helps them to learn to use the French language naturally. Adults can also study the French language with us or help out on the farm, or follow their own activity program. A variety of courses in crafts and sports are also available in French to complement the French classes.
