What is the recommended length of stay ?
If you are a beginner, we recommend a course of 2 to 3 weeks in one or two sessions.

Do you accept complete beginners ?
Yes. As a matter of fact, about 20% of our students are complete beginners.

How much can I expect to progress ?
This is THE QUESTION.
We promise to provide you with all the resources and personal attention you can expect from a quality language course. If you are an absolute beginner when you arrive, would you expect to be fluent when you leave after 2 or 3 weeks ? No. But if you are a motivated learner, you will be able to express yourself and hold up your end of the conversation with a French speaker who is aware that you are not a native speaker.

Will I have one teacher only  on a one-to-one course ?
No. You will have 3 teachers, one of them being your main teacher.

When should I arrive ?
 We expect participants to arrive between 05.00 and 07.00 pm on Sunday.

What if I arrive a few days earlier ?
Early arrival is recommended if you come from a different time zone. We suggest you stay in Lyon, Chalon-sur-Saône or Cluny and we will arrange for your transfer to Corcelle.

What about departure ?
The course ends on Friday after dinner. Most participants leave on Saturday after breakfast.

Do I have to leave Corcelle at the week-end if I am staying for 2 or 3 weeks ?
Of course not. Breakfast at the week-end is included in your programme and you can stay without extra charge We will be happy to help with excursion arrangements.

I am vegetarian.
If you let us know in advance, we will be happy to prepare appropriate meals for you. The same applies if you are allergic to certain types of food.

Can I start anytime ?
Courses start any Sunday evening
