Au Clair du Sud
Learning... a pleasure. Learn the language... live the life
Testimonials "I loved this class, it was PERFECT for me, it had everything I am interested in, speaking french, french food, wine and culture. You taught the class in such a fun and thorough way that I am more interested in those things now than I was before I came, If that is possible and I learned soooo much. Michele, "Thank you for looking after us during our visit in April. Bridget and Peter "Your week consisted of not only language instruction, which was given with encouragement and patience, but visits to the local industries, wine, olives, goat cheese, oysters and mussel farming and a memorable visit to a local market. Instruction in the appropriate terms and words before each visit increased ones confidence to try using them. The lunch each day at the various restaurants was an added bonus. Dorothy, "As an elderly American living in England, with little knowledge and practice of speaking French, I was delighted with the week with you. I learned a lot about French life, the people, their language and particularly the pronunciation of French words. I came back to England feeling I had lost my fear of speaking French." "I thoroughly enjoyed learning French with Au Clair du Sud in such a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Wendy, "I would like to thank Au Clair du Sud for your very kind hospitality. Thank you for putting together such an interesting, fun-packed language programme, which included; orienteering, canoeing and a visit to an Agricultural museum. The days started with a leisurely breakfast followed by a practical language session using role play to learn words and phrases for our afternoon activity. It was a useful and fun way of learning French while on holiday. It definitely gave the children an appreciation of speaking French while in France and they are now more interested in learning French at school! Valentina, Elliot and Zara "Thank you so much for providing such a special and unique opportunity for us to practice our French. We had a fabulous time, everyone was so friendly and kind to us. All the interesting trips to local markets and activities like canoeing were well organised and we felt thoroughly immersed in French culture in the nicest possible way. The children really loved meeting up and playing with other French children and altogether it has been a great holiday and learning experience. We hope to go again next summer. I recommend learning French with Au Clair du Sud, you will have a lot of fun." Annie, Bath, UK
You really put everything into it, totally took care of us and skimped on nothing. It was an experience of a lifetime that I don't think you can find anywhere else in the world.
Thank you for everything and I can't wait for the next class."

As a result of your excellent program of visits and tutorials, we have gained a greater understanding of the French Language, culture and customs.
We particularly enjoyed the the opportunity to have contact with local people going about their ordinary everyday business, and to sample the delights of the local produce and cuisine."

My visits were most enjoyable and it became a holiday where learning almost seemed secondary.
It was the first time I had ventured abroad on my own since my wife died and I was a little anxious but you were so welcoming. Thank you very much indeed."

Having the opportunity to put into practice what we had learnt on the afternoon visits was a valuable experience, while also learning about French Culture. I particularly enjoyed the trip to the oyster beds."

I am happy to report that Elliot's French teacher is very pleased with his progress. I am sure this is partly due to his trip to Montpelier this summer, as he now sees a purpose to it and it is of interest to him, always key in learning a language. I would even go so far to say that every secondary pupil should be attending such a course on a regular basis!
We stayed in a lovely auberge full of character set in beautiful rural surroundings. You were wonderful hosts and organised the whole programme extremely efficiently."
