How our students rated their experience in Annecy
What our students said about Annecy
I'm not familiar with the nightlife in the city, but there are a variety of bars and even a casino. The city's real treasure can be found in its natural attractions. For those who enjoy sports, there are plenty of opportunities to explore the nearby lakes and mountains (such as the Alps). Activities such as ballooning, hang gliding, paragliding over Lake Annecy, climbing, hiking, swimming, sunbathing on the lake's beaches, stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, water skiing, and horseback riding are all available.

Pleasant place to study and spend your free time at the same time. Countless opportunities to hike. Excellent: The free buses around the lake and into the mountains.

Most recent student reviews of language schools in Annecy

The pleasant atmosphere. Individual advice and support, if needed.
In my opinion, the school is suitable for all participants, no matter what the reason for the language course.
5 September 2023
Course: Intensive Course - 2 weeks
Student age: 67 years

There are two options available for this course: 20 hours per week with 5 hours of extracurricular activities, or 15 hours per week. I chose the 15-hour option due to financial reasons. The syllabus is equally covered in both options, with a clear beginning, middle, and end (as it is a summer course), and all skills are taught. This is an important point to note, as not all schools follow this structure. The teachers are excellent, and due to the small size of the school, there is a sense of closeness between the management, teachers, and students. I appreciate the diversity of nationality and age, which allows for an enriching exchange of experiences and culture. Lastly, the cost-benefit ratio of this course is unbeatable, and I doubt anyone could find a better option.
