Millefeuille Provence This is la France profonde in a nutshell. Most of us could only ever dream of attending school in a château with vineyards on our doorstep. Millefeuille Provence makes that dream a reality – and has, in fact, been doing so since 1995. A stone’s throw from Avignon, the 18th-century Château Correnson is a sublime backdrop for studying, and acts both as a school and a home away from home, with a number of bedrooms on-site, a dining room, living room and a swimming pool on the garden’s upper terrace.


Bordeaux is one of the largest cities in France, and its world- renowned university accommodates some 70,000 students, including more than 7,000 international students, which helps to make this a dynamic city, bustling with life and energy. In short, this is a place that nurtures learning. And if you’re interested not only in studying here but maybe even calling Bordeaux home one day, the Newdeal Institut de Français can help you settle in. The school’s general French course is a welcoming start, based on a large range of activities such as role play, simulations, creative workshops and group work, while the intensive version is a combination of the standard course and a reinforcement course designed to accelerate your progress. www.francais.newdealinstitut.com
