The French 50+ course is specially designed for students over 50 who want to improve their French while discovering the art, culture, gastronomy and the landscapes of the Côte d’Azur. Seniors wishing to learn or improve their French enjoy taking classes in the morning, exploring the South of France in the afternoon, and having their evenings free. At night, our students will be housed in studios with all the mod cons in one of our club residences, a short walk from the centre of Antibes and the beaches. For details of the French school in Antibes please see ‘Learn French in Antibes‘.

ACTIVITIESAfter class, in order to familiarise themselves with French culture and build on what they have learned whilst enjoying their free time, we offer seniors the opportunity to explore the region and discover its cultural diversity.
Each week is composed of 3 half-day or activities on weekdays and a full-day excursion at weekends. Cultural activities or workshopsEach week a specific cultural activity is on offer for seniors, whether an introduction to petanque, a Provencal cooking workshop, local product tasting or a going to the movies or theatre, they are all an opportunity to speak in French in a relaxed atmosphere. Afternoon excursionsTwice a week you will set out to explore the region by hiking the coastal path of the cap d’Antibes, exploring Grasse and the famous Fragonard perfumery, visiting Saint Paul de Vence and the Maeght Foundation or taking a guided tour of the streets of Cannes. Weekend excursionsStudents on the 50+ two-week programme will spend Saturday on a day trip exploring Nice or Monaco. Both excursions are an opportunity to explore iconic sites of the Côte d’Azur, visit a museum and purchase a few souvenirs.
