When we think of a language immersion program, we often imagine young students eager to learn a new language for their studies or careers. However, at Accent Français, we know that learning has no age limit. That’s why we offer language immersion programs in Montpellier that cater to everyone, particularly clients over the age of 50.
The proof: Accent Français is one of the schools in France with the highest number of adult students, and the 50+ make up 20% of our students at certain times of the year. To make the most of your experience, we recommend booking your program in the fall (September, October, November) or spring (May, June) and carefully avoiding school holiday periods (April, July, August). This way, you'll have the opportunity to meet people with similar profiles and share this experience with other students who have the same expectations and interests.
Whether you want to perfect your French, discover a new culture, or simply embark on an enriching adventure, we have everything you need. We will meet your expectations.
Why choose Montpellier for your language immersion program?
Montpellier is a beautiful city in southern France, known for its sunny climate, rich historical heritage, and friendly atmosphere. Located halfway between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains, it offers an ideal setting for an immersive stay. Its medieval streets, lively squares, local markets, and proximity to remarkable natural sites make it a perfect destination to combine learning and pleasure.
A program tailored to your needs and desires
At Accent Français, we understand that the motivations and expectations of mature clients differ from those of younger students. That's why our teaching content and our programme of activities and excursions are particularly well suited to 50+ learners. Our courses are designed to be stimulating while respecting each individual's pace. In addition to classes, we organize a rich and varied cultural program to help you discover the region and practice French in authentic contexts.
Here’s a glimpse of what we offer:
Cooking Classes: Learn to prepare traditional French dishes under the guidance of a local chef, while improving your culinary vocabulary.
Wine Tasting: Discover the vineyards of Languedoc and enhance your knowledge of wine.
Yoga classes: Relax and stay fit with our yoga sessions suitable for all levels.
Regional Excursions: Explore iconic sites such as Carcassonne, the Pont du Gard, or the charming villages of Saint Guilhem le Désert, Aigues Mortes, Sète, and more.
Museum Visits: Immerse yourself in the art and history of the region with guided tours in French.
Comfortable and suitable accommodation
Accommodation is a crucial aspect of your stay. We offer several options that will meet your needs and preferences:
Homestay: For total immersion, stay with a French host family. It’s an excellent way to practice French daily and experience local culture from within.
Hotel Residence: If you prefer to retain a degree of independence, our hotel residences are ideal. This is the option we particularly recommend for adults who do not wish to share their daily life with a host family or who are travelling as a couple / with friends. We have preferential rates in 6 different residences in Montpellier, the closest of which is opposite the school, the furthest being a 15-minute tram ride away.
