Program Description

IS AIX-EN-PROVENCE
This French Language institute is an international language school specializing in French as a foreign language offering courses in Aix-en-Provence since 1972. It belongs to International Language Schools, a Swedish association affiliated with the University of Stockholm. International Schools has established centers in Europe to allow its students to learn a language in the country where it is spoken. The French Language school is located in a charming 2 story house at the edge of the historical center of town ( a 2 minute walk from the Palais de Justice). It features 15 comfortable classrooms equipped with audio and video projection screens, a multi media room with e-mail access and CD Roms in French, a common room with a library and a small kitchen, and an outdoor patio perfect for relaxing and socializing during the warmer months. The multilingual administrative staff is always ready to assist students with general information, reservations for excursions, car rentals, airline and railway tickets, and happy to provide suggestions for some of the many wonderful restaurants and cafes in town.

AIX-EN-PROVENCE
Aix-en-Provence is a perfect Provencal city, large enough to be sophisticated but small enough to navigate on foot. A university and spa town with a population of 150,000, its location offers many possible excursions (Arles, Avignon and Nimes), and it is just half-way between the beaches of the Mediterranean (Nice, St. Tropez, Antibes, etc.). It's a picturesque city of Roman origin, with a busy center full of boutiques, restaurants, cafes and open-air markets. It has a great artistic heritage and organizes a world-famous Arts and Music Festival each year.
