FRENCH LANGUAGE
SUMMER SCHOOL

This is a 5-day immersion course where you are immersed in French life and culture. (6 nights accomodation).

Prefaucon Farm is our French language Summer School base: after your French lessons you will put what you learn into practice by living and eating with a French family, and learning about the French way of life.

Prefaucon Farm is a working farm. Sophie looks after her 100 ewes, welcomes guests and cooks very good local food, fresh from their garden. Jean-Louis is the gardener.

Children are looked after by their own French language teacher and have their own programme of activities and classes with local children, each day, so they learn to use the French language naturally.

Adults can help out on the farm! Or study the French language with us, or follow their own program of walking, biking, horse-riding, wind-surfing, paragliding etc.  Or .... a wide variety of craft courses are available, perhaps to complement your French lessons?

Courses in pottery, felt-making, watercolour painting, painting furniture, organic cookery, medicinal plants and “green” construction techniques are all possible: all in French!

Where are we?

These courses are available in MENS. This is the market town for the Trièves; a wonderful region of rolling farmland and forests surrounded by the mountains of the Vercors and the Ecrins. This is real France where you are unlikely to hear English spoken.

The Trièves is home to France's most important "green" centre - Terre Vivante - and the ethos of organic farming and green building permeate the region.
