I liked the classes generally. I felt the teaching was very good though unfortunately most of our time at Carel was not spent learning French.
If you are not coming with a group, afternoon activities may be considerably less enjoyable.

Good standard of teaching.
The first week did not work for us as the students not paying their own fees did not seem to be committed to learning and it was very disruptive. Also I did not need experience in presenting a project - a waste of time for me.

The cafeteria.
After finishing the French course for the morning the 2 hour lunch break is excessive. Also opening the school gym would have been a nice addition.

Nothing about the school. Multiactivities were the best.
The school did not offer all levels and did not inform me that my level was not there. I was put in a lower level which obviously did not contribute to a significant progress in my French. I was completely left alone in my free time without any supervision from any adult even though I am only 14. My parents didn't like it, of course.

My teacher was very young, dynamic and intelligent, the classes were really interesting.
Only one thing I did not like very much: the toilets were always dirty, I think they could put a paper reporting that you should leave everything in order.

That nothing was too much effort. The whole experience from the landlady, through school administrators and the exceptional teaching was indeed a memorable experience.
I intend to revisit the school at some point in the future once I have mastered verb conjugation.

Friendliness of the staff, small numbers in the class and individual attention given to each person. Location: Royan is a picturesque seaside town small enough to get around on foot.
Staff were very personable and dedicated to making sure everyone in the class understood the concepts.
