Provence is an international language institute with more than 35
years of experience in high quality training in French for
adults.
The major part of our students learn French for professional
reasons, but others are just attracted by our fantastic location
in the heart of Provence ideal for discovering this beautiful
region with its historical sites of great interest, its wines,
food, craft and culture and its mild climate.
We are located in Aix-en-Provence, a town famous as "
Ville d'Eaux - Ville d'Arts ". The hot springs of the
town are of Roman origin. This picturesque spot in the heart
of Provence is well known as the birthplace of the painter
Paul Cézanne. Its particular light and scenic landscape
have attracted many well-known painters. Its narrow lanes,
fountains and markets still attract young and old, the French
and foreigners.
Outside the town, too, there are numerous possibilities for
exploring: historic places such as Arles, Avignon, Nîmes
or the scenic beauties of the Camargue, the Luberon, the Bight
of Verdon or Mont Sainte-Victoire. The beaches and coves of
the Mediterranean coast are only half an hour away.
Our climate is very pleasant ; it is summer until October
and the mild Autumn lasts until Christmas. Even winter is
pleasantly mild. The provençal light is especially
intense in January.
The school building is situated In a charming turn-of-the-century
building facing a boulevard lined with magnificent plane trees
on one side and lovely green gardens on the other. The town
centre is a three minute walk away. The building has 15 classrooms,
a Multimedia Ressources Centre for self-studies next to the
