French study holiday in Antibes, France for children & teenagers


Ahoy sailors, take note! Where could learning French and sailing be more fun than during a language stay in Antibes on the sunny Mediterranean coast of Southern France? Our partner school, founded in 1985 and accredited by the French government, is located in Antibes and hosts over 7000 students per year.

This relatively large institution offers an exciting program for children and teenagers who want to learn French and have a great time on the Côte d'Azur.

The classes are held in small groups of maximum 15 students per class. The teachers and animators are also present wherever other participants are having fun, be it at the pool, at games, on a trip to Monaco, at the Nautical Amusement Park or at the Lérins Islands. 

French is taught in the morning during 20 lessons per week. If you would like to progress faster, you can also book 25 lessons per week with the intensive course.

In the afternoon, during 3 hours (Monday to Friday), the sailing course takes place. All under the supervision of qualified staff of the Antibes Sailing Club.

Learn French in the morning, sail in the afternoon and participate in an action-packed and fun-filled program in the evening - what could be better?
