What an amazing summer we are having here in Provence. Very high temperatures but low humidity so it is ideal for getting out and about if you avoid the midday heat.

Last week we had a wonderful day at the Avignon Theatre Festival and will certainly repeat a similar programme next year. We finished the day with dinner in an excellent traditional French restaurant, enjoying the evening with the Festival crowds. Pencil in the same week next year in your diary!

A little while ago I mentioned the sad situation of our teacher Bernadette who suffered a serious brain aneurism about a month ago. We now have very good news. She has come out of the coma and is beginning to speak. Although there is still some paralysis the doctors are optimistic that with time and physiotherapy the prognosis is optimistic.

We have a small amount of availability left for some of our summer courses. We have 2 places available for our Morning French Course Level 2 on 16 August and Morning French Course Level 3 beginning 23 August.

We are also now looking ahead to our autumn courses. The autumn course dates are here on the site and we already have many enrolments.

As always I must reiterate that French host accommodation is in limited supply so please let us know as soon as possible if you are interested. If you are tied to particular dates please get in touch as soon as you can.

If you have specific requests before they appear please do not hesitate to ask.

Avignon and Marseille Marignane are our nearest airports and connect with many regional airports in the UK. There are also routes between Canada and Marseille. Many of our American students find the easiest option is to fly to Paris CDG and take the fast TGV train to Avignon where there is a connecting bus to Apt. There is also a new station at Marseille Airport which connects to Avignon and Cavaillon where there are bus services to Apt. We are happy to offer a free collection service from Apt to your French host in St Saturnin lès Apt. We have tried to include as much detail as possible on our 'Travel Connections' page. Do keep an eye on the local press in your area to see what is happening.

If you want to get in touch with me personally you can email me on: susan.bento@

Look forward to hearing from you....
