Altiplano Training, South East of France:
Altiplano Training offers two excellent locations in the south east of France.

In world-famous CHAMONIX (all year round) and the rural market town of MENS, just South of Grenoble (June-October).

INTENSIVE FRENCH: Our intensive courses are high-quality. A typical program is a 5-day course. You study 3hrs a day; your afternoons (or mornings) are free for you to ski, snowboard, walk, play golf or tennis, or relax. The evenings are for you to test your new language skills and confidence in the many different restaurants and bars in bustling Chamonix. These intensive French courses are available all year round. "French & Ski", in Chamonix is our most popular course.

BUSINESS FRENCH: We also offer highly intensive French business courses in Chamonix which focus on language for communication and on key aspects of French social and business cultures. These one-to-one courses are very demanding and very effective, with 45 hours a week of structured language use.

Morning lessons are followed by lunch with your teacher and then activities of your choice with a French professional instructor take up the afternoons, giving a total of 45 hours of 1:1 intensive French language use. These afternoon activities are an essential part of your course.

Afternoon activity options (depending on the time of year and weather) include: golf, off-piste skiing, ice-climbing, wine-tasting, paragliding, walking or snowshoeing, tennis or cross-country skiing, and mountain-biking.

INDEPENDENT FRENCH: We can help you find accommodation; an apartment, chalet or gite for example, and provide a teacher.

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. This is real France where you are unlikely to hear English spoken, 40min south of Grenoble and 2 hrs south of Lyon.

Choose from:

*  a Farm guest house, dining with other French guests round the large farmhouse table.

Homestay - living and eating with a local family.

Family Summer School, as a private course for all your family, in a lovely rural setting.

Courses in pottery, felt-making, watercolour painting, painting furniture, organic cookery, medicinal plants and “green” construction techniques are all possible: all in French!

Popular sports and activities include walking, mountain biking, windsurfing & kite surfing, horse riding and paragliding. Courses in these sports are also available.

Immersion courses - Prefaucon Farm:

Prefaucon farm offers a communal farmhouse evening meal with your hosts and other French guests. A charming rural setting and a working farm with 100 ewes and their own vegetable gardens.
A great base for our private Summer Schools with other children to play with and French guests to talk to.

Immersion courses - Homestay:

Here you stay with a local family, discuss life & politics and farming and 'Europe', and enjoy the atmosphere and live music in the cafés.

The Trieves Plateau is home to France's most important "green" centre - Terre Vivante - and the ethos of organic farming and green building permeate the region. Why not time your ourse to include the "Foire Bio"; the annual "green" fair of the Trieves which takes place at the end of September every year.
