Lying at the heart of the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur) and situated on the doorstep of Monte Carlo, our school is located in the small village of Cap d'Ail, only 3 km from Monaco and 15 km away from both Nice and Italy.

Set on the Mediterranean coast of France just a few miles from the Monaco border, the Côte d'Azur is one of the most visited parts of France, famous for its sun-drenched beaches and warm waters of the Mediterranean. It is also a fabled playground of the rich and famous and has been the passion and the death of many a famous artists: F. Scott Fitzgerald, Picasso and Renoir.

Cap d'Ail where our campus is located overlooks a relaxed 3.6 km stretch of coastal walk adorned with Mediterranean flora, geological features, and an ancient millstone quarry.


Our school which has over 50 years' experience in teaching French, is perched over the towns of Cap D'Ail (France) and Monaco Ville (Monaco) and offers beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea. The campus measures 3.5 hectares and offers a picturesque park that enjoys expansive terraces and mature, well-kept gardens with an abundance of flowers and trees.

The waterfront is a 20 minute walk from the campus. The distance is due to the fact that the campus is located on top of a steep incline. At the foot of the incline, students can swim in a large public sea pool. The camp staff also take them, by bus, to other popular swimming beaches as a part of camp excursions in the afternoons (which are about a 15 minute bus ride from the camp).

STUDENT FEEDBACK

"Upon my arrival to montecarlo, I was met by wonderful people who worked for the school who immediately spoke to me in French. I had a many opportunities to speak French and see the city of montecarlo. I loved my host family and the school and the activities.

Besides speaking French, the best part was meeting people from around the world and getting close to them. It's a wonderful experience. The location was wonderful for me because it was is a predominately French speaking neighborhood, and I was really interested in speaking French as much as possible.

My host home was comfortable, close to metro and buses, and my host mom cooked all the time. I didn't get to see my host family as much as I wanted due to our schedules but for me the accommodation was fine. The family experience was very cool although we had a few cultural conflicts and diffrences.

The school was great. It did a good job of balancing "school" and activities. The location was great because they were both right off the metro and in close proximity to shops, restaurants, etc. The monitors were amazing. Very cool, friendly, personable. Acitives were cool. I enjoyed them a lot. Especially rock climbing and hanging in the park.
