We offer group courses at highly competitive rates while at the same time providing very comfortable accommodation, classes with 8 people maximum, good food and a lovely setting. Along with the programs we offer on-site at Chateau de Matel, we also have courses available for student groups, accompanied or unaccompanied by their own teacher. French provincial meals prepared by our chef. We are a language institute with a family atmosphere which offers full immersion programs in the French language. Accommodation and meals are provided on site at the chateau.
Lunch is buffet style, while dinner is eaten together at table French style.
The advantage of this formula is that we encourage students to speak French from morning to night. A teacher eats meals with students and we speak French from breakfast through dinner. Accommodation in the chateau avoids transportation between lodging and classes and the difficulties that sometimes arise between host families and a school. This allows student groups to get to know each other better and communicate better with their accompanying teacher. Universities who have used our services in the past greatly appreciated their stay.
