French Language Summer Camp on French Riviera

CMEF, French Riviera:
We are an international language school in Cap d´Ail near Monte Carlo with a long tradition on French language courses and teenage summer camps.

- 50 years of experience in teaching French..
- A 3 hectare campus overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
- Permanent qualified teachers and youth leaders.
- A teaching affiliation with the University of Nice and the local education authority for the Junior DELF.

The CMEF’s teenager programme is 20 years old! Since 1988, the CMEF has welcomed over 9000 teenagers during the summer period, aged between 13 and 17 years old and coming from around the world. Between mid-June and the end of August, the Centre accommodates about 500 teenagers - a limited number which allows us to pay special attention to each and every student. The programme favours intercultural exchanges between young people.

A global educational concept:
* Learn French at your own pace and depending on your needs.
* Choose from a variety of sports or cultural activities in the afternoon and various forms of entertainment in the evening.
* Share your room with young people from other countries, respecting safety regulations and the rules of living amongst others.

The international context of the CMEF, providing the opportunity for teenagers to meet other international students, encourages open-mindedness and prepares adolescents for the future.

All the French lessons are compulsory, as is Saturday’s weekly excursion. However, all evening and afternoon activities are optional in order for students to benefit from their independence. Nevertheless, our team leaders’ role is to encourage the students to take part in a maximum number of activities.

Qualified staff is on site 24 hours a day. They handle all transfers to and from the centre as well as organising cultural and sports activities in the evening and supervise the dormitories, ensuring the well-being of the students.

We have four teams of staff working together in order to ensure a quality of service. Our teachers are all graduates in the teaching of French as a foreign language. Their lessons are not only beneficial but also enjoyable for teenagers.

Cap d'Ail enjoys a privileged position on the Cote d'Azur, located at the gateway to Monte-Carlo and only 20 minutes from Nice and Italy.

Rocky peaks rising up to 500 metres beaches and peaceful bays, a mediterrenean climate, all contribute to making Cap d'Ail an extremely attractive seaside resort for individuals, couples and families alike.
