I spent 5 weeks here July/August and it was awesome. Steph has created a really beautiful school. It’s the perfect size, enough people to make friends but not too many that it’s overwhelming. It doesn’t feel like a business, it feels like a little French Family.

The classes are small so you get to know everyone and the teachers really well. There are 2 dogs at the school so if you don’t really like dogs maybe speak to your therapist about how to get over this fear because the school is really worth it.

Each week they organise a little activity, for example, a picnic, board game afternoon at a cafe, a lesson to learn the local sports (some people say it’s kinda like squash). I had lessons every morning as well as Monday and Tuesday afternoons. It was a really nice balance for me.

Despite being Australian (and inspired by the iconic French surfer Brice de Nice) I didn’t do the surf course but everyone who did was super happy with it. I stayed with a host family and it was really nice to eat my meals with them (and to not have to cook every night #LiveYourBestLife). I definitely hope to return ASAP!

Here’s a pic of me at school, look, I am so happy, full of French words and culture. Merci Steph and Toma!
