ESL is proud to present some of the most prestigious French language programmes in Europe, hosted in several summer camps around the continent. All programmes are specially designed for juniors and teens who want to hone their skills in the French language.

What’s a ‘Bisou’ in French?

Ecole Suisse des Langues (ESL) is a leading provider of language summer camps for juniors from 8 to 14 years old and for teens between 13 and 17 years old. The French language is taught at several ESL summer camps in France, Germany and Switzerland. Besides, all programmes are adapted to the skills and existing knowledge of juniors and teenagers. Therefore, young students can explore the French language and use it in practice in their everyday life in order to communicate with their peers. For example, they can learn how to pronounce the word ‘bisou’, which is the french word for a kiss and in plural is a nice way to say goodbye!

Perhaps the best place for a student to practice his/her French in the summer is the cosmopolitan Cote d’Azur. Apart from that, there is also a french language school near Paris, and another one in the French-speaking Swiss city of Montreux. However, learning French in one of ESL’s camps is by no means a boring experience. There are amazing sport activities as well, such as horse riding, mini golf, sailing and mountain bike, and students can even learn everything they want to know about the world-famous french cuisine or take dance classes. As for the courses, students can choose between standard and intensive ones, depending on their age, level of fluency and ambition for a summer simply magnifique! Programmes start as early as in mid-April and run up to the end of October in the case of the study programme for teens in Leysin. All other programmes are available from the end of June 2011 up to mid-September. They last from 1 up to 4 weeks, with an additional week as an option.
