About us
Welcome to French Language Holidays, your gateway to authentic French learning on the sun-drenched shores of Saint-Raphaël. We’re a passionate team of native-speaking teachers and Riviera enthusiasts who believe that the best way to master a language is to live it.
Our Story
Founded in 2005 by lifelong Francophiles, French Language Holidays began as a small, family-run school with just two classrooms and a handful of students. Today, we’ve grown into a vibrant language community, yet we’ve never lost our personal touch: small groups, friendly faces, and genuine Provençal hospitality.
Our Mission
Immersive Learning: We design every lesson and activity to surround you with real-world French, both in and out of the classroom.
Personal Growth: Whether you’re a beginner or advanced speaker, our courses adapt to your goals, interests, and pace.
