GBUnclean accommodation Good course but the rooms were dirty- unchanged sheets and unemptied bins. The default of the CIA is to deny what is said in reviews but unless you want your kids sleeping in dirty sheets, avoid the accommodation. The rooms are also locked during the day for ‘safety’ reasons so the children cannot have any downtime should they wish to. Lastly, watch out for the wide age groups (13-17). Your child might be stuck with much younger or older children. It would be more sensible to have groupings of 12-14 and 15-17.

NLWell organised and fun language camp The camp was organised very well (including the transportation) with high level teaching and fun activities in the afternoon. The location is superb with easy access to the beach and the old town. Participants meet children from all over the world. It is great that animators only communicate with kids in French. The only recommendation for improvement is to make the showers less hot.

GBLoved it Really great week. I highly recommend it. Everything went as well as it could have. Classes were interesting and well planned, teachers were helpful. My teacher in the morning really helped me with my pronunciation. The residence has a fridge, burner, and microwave, everything you need.

GBMy favorite French learning experience This is my second time at the school and the experience was just as good this time. The teachers are very talented and helpful both in the morning class and in the one on one discussion class. I will be back soon and will likely sign up for the intensive plus so that I get the benefits of both one on one work as well as the discussion in the afternoon. An added benefit is the cross cultural and cross age group classes. I have made friends from all over the world. I can't wait to come back.

AEMy Daughter has been taking lessons at… My Daughter has been taking lessons at the Centre International d’Antibes for two years and is due back again next year. She absolutely loves her time there making new friends while learning French language which has massively helped her confidence in the language at school and social level. I would definitely recommend the centre and the staff who are very supportive of learning and organising the trip. The first year my daughter stayed at the Castel which was sharing basis but was en-suite. The second year was with a host family. Both were comfortable and she seemed to have enjoyed it. Next year she wants to stay at the Castel so she can be have more interaction with her friends.
