The school is located in the heart of montpellier, that is always ideal. The building is old and nice too, but classrooms vary allot, there are nice big classrooms, but also very small and uncomfortable ones.
Teachers where all nice,
they have a lot of activities, some are free to join, like playing petanque, watching movie, even (simpel) danse lessons. In the weekends the city trips where a bit overpriced for me so I did not join that.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Montpellier is realy the best place to study french, probably becouse it is a student city with some universities. It is not to big and it has a nice atmosphere.
For people who like wine it is perfect, a lot of nice winebars, and in the summer they got every friday a winefestival where you can try local wines for a cheap price.
For eating I recommend the "flunch", its very cheap and pretty good, and you can always get some more.
For accomodation I recommend try searching something yourself for a student room on the internet in the summer months, I did the same and I was lucky finding a good room in the centre. Some classmates need to travel a long way to school, try to avoid that.

Other comments
What a wonderful expereince! I am a professional from the US and there were so many great things to say. The city of Montpellier is a beautiful smaller European city with much to offer- Opera, museums and close to day-trips to regional historic cities. Though small, Montpellier is surprisingly cosmopolitan in its outlook and is a very welcoming place, especially for someone who has never experienced a different culture. The school was also very helpful, extremely friendly, and the classes were very well-taught. I only stayed a week, but it was worth it and would have liked to have stayed longer.

If you are a complete beginner, all instructions are in French, including grammar lessons. If you know basic French, your French will improve quickly because of the total immersion.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
For very short term like one week or even two, better taking private lessons. If longer stay try to find a shared flat or live with a family - you boost your improving by using outside what you have learned at school.

Very pleased with my progress, for me really worth the money. However still things to note: very busy July-Aug so maybe avoid summer for smaller classes etc - really makes a difference.

Ich finde die schriflichen Kursunterlagen sehr mangelhaft und ungenügend. Kopie der Kopie, Schriftgrösse, Platz sehr knapp um Antworten handschriftlich zu platzieren.
Es war schlecht, dass wir als Seniorgruppe mit so vielen Niveaus in einer Gruppe sein mussten. Ich sehe den finanziellen Vorteil für die Schule ganz klar. So war das Kursgeld zu hoch.
Das Wissen von Jean Paul ist sehr gross, jedoch hat es mich sehr gestört, dass er seine Fremdsprachenkenntnisse unablässig präsentiert. Ich habe mich bei ihm gewehrt, denn es war Teil eines Französischsprachkurses. Ich habe nichts gegen Ausnahmen wohlverstanden!

don't miss the beach (la grande-motte, la grande traverse), check out the bars barberousse, the rock store (not before 02.00), mi barrio (winebar), they are sometimes some salsaparties at the beach (really nice), visit pont du diable and saint guillhem de desert, also pont du gard and avignon, at the trainstation in montpellier you can rent a car, you can also rent some scooters at several places

I stayed for 10 weeks in Monpellier, in my opinion Accent Francais is the best school there. the people are very friendly and willing to offer their help. most of the teachers are very motivated and comprehensive. You will meet spanish, german, japanese, australian, dutch, dannish, swiss, english, american, columbian people there. During some weeks i found they were too many german, spanish and austrian students there but in general its a nice mix. Montpellier is a very nice town! go and check it out yourself!!
