Intense, challenging but very enjoyable! Having achieved a basic level of French, Corcelle helped me see what I need to do to become fluent, with many of the tools and supports to help me get there. As well as rigorous formal learning from true experts, the informal discussions during lunch and dinner were also a linguistic, cultural, historical and political (as well as a culinary) feast! Many thanks to Hubert and the team - I hope to return sometime. Highly recommended!

I spent a week at Corcelle in October. It was a positively memorable experience. The location is beautiful, a small village amidst the French countryside. The house, surrounded by a small garden, has a nice library with all the necessary equipment for audiovisual learning.
The individual teaching was very intensive and effective. The lessons lasted from morning till 9 pm with only a couple of breaks during the day. Even the lunchbreaks were occasions for learning. Luckily all the teachers were very professional, skilful, supportive and nice. In between and during the lessons there were lots of laughs, too, as counterweight to hard brainwork.
Breakfast and lunch, superbly made by the wife of the director of the school, was had in the house and for dinners we visited the cosy restaurants in the vicinity. We even made a couple of excursions to the cultural sights nearby.
I definitively recommend Corcelle to all serious learners of the French language!

Französisch lernen in Corcelle ist eine intensive sehr proffesionelle Erfahrung . Ideal für Menschen die in kurzer Zeit dem maximalen Erfolg erzielen möchten.
Das der Aufenthalt trotzdem sehr angenehm ist- liegt an der sehr individuellen persönlichen Betreuung in wunderschöner Umgebung.
Ich kann es nur empfehlen - war schon mehrfach dort

Learning French at Corcelle was an experience worthy of time (I stayed for two weeks) and my effort (it is an intense learning opportunity). After completing an informal assessment of my ability in French, the knowledgeable staff expertly guided me through varied daily individual lessons and practice sessions developed specifically to address my needs. Break times and meals provided an excellent chance to practice what I had learned, as well as a chance to get to know the other attendees. My confidence and ability in French improved markedly over the duration of my stay. An added extra benefit was being surrounded by the beautiful French countryside. I recommended Corcelle highly and without reservation.

I had the pleasure of being one week at Corcelle, getting private intensive training in French. In fact, due to holidays, it was only me at Corcelle which made it very intensive indeed. Starting each day at 8.20 with breakfast and ending after diner with some homework, the days were long indeed. However, thanks to my teachers, the days past quickly due to their inspiration, motivation and sense of humor. I was treated with lunch and diner in nearby restaurants with good food and wine. Apart from the language, I've learned a lot about the French culture. I would absolutely recommend Corcelle to anybody who wants to learn the French language and culture while having a very pleasant stay in charolaise country.
