resentations of summer courses: main principles.

  • Summer courses focus on the discovery of Provençal culture (songs, gastronomy, oenology, artistic heritage, writers and artists, summer events in the region, the regional language, etc.), a point that can be discussed between teachers.
  • The program is based on 20 hours of lessons per week, including a compulsory outing on Wednesday. This outing will be the subject of class work (before and/or after), language activities on the day and an evaluation (and very demanding teamwork).
  • For each session, French language and culture lessons are spread over two weeks, with approximately 4 hours of lessons per day .
