Altiplano Training:
Altiplano Training offers a unique French summer school for children and adults in Mens in the south east of France. Prefaucon Farm provides a stimulating, and friendly and fun environment which allows you to develop your linguistic ability. 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.
FRENCH LANGUAGE SUMMER SCHOOL
The most effective way to learn a language is to immerse yourself into the lifestyle and the culture of the country. This 5-day immersion course (6 nights accommodation) allows you to do just that and you will learn and develop your French language skills during your stay. Our French Language Summer School is based in Prefaucon Fram which is a working farm looked after by Sophie and Jean-Louis. Jean-Louis is the gardener while Sophie welcomes guests and cooks them very good local food while also looking after 100 ewes. After your French lessons, you will have the chance to put your newly learned language skills and vocabulary into practice by living and eating with a French family and learning about the French way of life.
Our French Language Summer School caters for both children and adults. Children are looked after by their own French language day. They learn to use the French language naturally through a carefully designed programme of activities and classes with local children. Adults are welcome to help out on the farm in addition to their French language classes! Or they can follow their own programme of biking, horse-riding, paragliding, walking or wind-surfing among other enjoyable activities. There is also a wide variety of craft courses available that can also complement your French lessons.
Courses in pottery, felt-making, watercolour painting, painting furniture, organic cookery, medicinal plants and “green” construction techniques are all possible: all in French!
