Le Poyenval French Language School, Western Loire:
Le Poyenval is an old-style house near Bazoges-en-Pareds in the Vendée region of France.

We believe this to be the ideal location to improve your French in quiet and comfortable surroundings.

There are many things to see and do in the surrounding area, many great restaurants in which to sample French cuisine and wine - a great place in which to study, or visit!

There are attractions such as the coastline and sandy beaches at Les Sables d’Olonne, towns like La Rochelle with excellent dining (especially if you like seafood), and the fascinating waterways of the Marais Poitevin all within easy reach.

The Vendee weather is wonderful, and photographers and artists can enjoy the countryside with its varied and stunning scenery. The area is ideal for walking, cycling, golf, fishing or horse riding. The picturesque sea shore of the French Atlantic coastline, with its excellent beaches, is within easy reach by car and there is boating on the inland waterways of the Marais Poitevin.

Student Testimonial:
"The course was everything I expected and more...Written work was enjoyable and entertaining and the opportunity to speak French freely with the teachers and students, without embarrassment, was just what I wanted.

Staying with a French host was very enjoyable and necessitated, in my case, communication in French at all times as my hostess spoke no English...I would recommend the course to anyone needing to immerse themselves in French Language and Culture."
