Out to lunch with our students
All our accommodation options are within a few minutes’ walking distance of the school. Many of our students choose to come to St Saturnin without a car and concentrate on village amenities during their stay. After class they enjoy wandering through the quiet winding streets and squares to the château or meeting in one of the colourful local bars for an ‘apéro’ before dinner. The atmosphere of the village is friendly and relaxed and local people are delighted to meet our students.
Our afternoon excursions give our students an opportunity to visit some of the stunning local places of interest – glorious villages like Roussillon and Gordes, the breathtaking Cistercian Abbey at Sénanques or l’Isle sur la Sorgue, the beautiful Venice of Provence. We also visit local businesses to have a better understanding of the local economy.
Our immersion students join us several days a week for a delicious home-prepared lunch with local wine. Coffee, tea and soft drinks are available ‘à volonté’ throughout the day.
