Ecole des Trois PontsReviews 

An incredible all-inclusive experience!!! The teachers, host families and other students were outstandingly welcoming and went out of their way to make sure we had the best possible opportunities to improve our linguistic and cultural knowledge. Absolutely no complaints other than I wish I could have stayed longer!

What a wonderful week improving my French and a highlight of our trip to Europe.
Valerie and her team are a class act! Combining the warmth of a family and a true feeling of belonging, with the expertise in education of everyone on the team and a true passion for what they do!
I have studied French for several years, and this was the best learning I have experienced to date, by far!
After reading others reviews, we detoured from our original holiday plans, to spend a week at École des 3 ponts and I am so grateful we did! I feel more inspired than ever to improve and continue my French journey, and I’m saving up for the next one! I’ll be back. Thank you for a memorable week, even though we experienced le canicule.

The real test of what École des Trois Ponts can achieve came when I returned home and my French Canadian in-laws were impressed by the improvement (after just 1 week!).

I spent three weeks at Ecole Trois Ponts in June-July 2019. The thing that impressed me most was the quality of the instruction. My teachers, Valerie, Vincent, and Genevieve, were well-prepared, flexible, patient, and obviously invested in my progress. I could see that they had a curriculum progression in mind, but they designed the lessons around my interests and needs. I really appreciated that they were very positive and encouraging, while still correcting me when needed. My confidence in speaking French increased tremendously in three weeks. The food was amazing, my host family was very welcoming and helpful, and the excursions were interesting and very reasonably priced. I hope to return again soon!

Dans mon avis, L'École de Trois Ponts est la première école pour un expérience immersif. Il faut que vous la découvriez!

The instructors are patient, kind, and extremely helpful. The food is ... simply awesome. And the Director, Valérie, is an absolute gem.

L'École des Trois Ponts... the best place to learn more than French!

I went for one week course at the school in Maj and my experience was more than positive. Charming people beautiful location excellent service and lessons voted to practical use of French language.
Let alone meals managed by a very skilled chef.
Thanks to you all. Au revoir j'espere!!! Ciao, Maurizio

Cannot speak highly enough of Ecole des Trois Ponts. Beautiful setting and room facilities, wonderful teachers and delicious food. Great environment to learn and practice French! Would love to return in the future.

École des Trois Ponts was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is less like a school and more like staying in a home with a family. The teaching was strong and flexible, depending on our requirements. I'll cherish my week in Riorges.

Merci à Valérie, Vincent, Christophe, and all the lovely staff!

I have had an extraordinary 4-week experience at Ecole Trois Ponts:
Valerie is the director of this well-known school; she has chosen her teachers well who tailor our classes to suit the level of our French ability. Along with learning grammar, many discussions were had relating to travel, food, environment etc.
Christophe is the “chef extrordinaire”. His food was excellent, and his knowledge of wine and cheese was all part of the education. He made me feel very comfortable as my knowledge of French was limited in comparison to other students at the time of my visit.
My first week was 19 hours of French instruction along with daily Gourmet Excursions.
• Huilerie J Leblance & Fils - Artisan of Oil, the business has
been in the family for 4 generations.
• Nicola Piot - Atelier au Choloate, etc
• Degustation Gastonomique at Chateau de Champlong
• Mons Fromages - Wines and Cheese company who exports
around the world
• Brasserie La Germanoise – Boutique Beer
These excursions enhanced my education of the French culture and the language.
My second week was 19 hours of French instruction along with walking excursions. We were driven to a different beautiful village each time where we walked through the countryside and through vineyards.
3rd week was total immersion of 25 hours.
4th week I tailored it back to just 19 hours of French.
I thank you Valerie, Vincent and staff for your care and education towards your beautiful country and language. I have learnt so much and have the desire to further immerse myself into the language now that I’m home.

First rate experience. Very nice place - the professeurs, chef, concierge and cleaning lady all excellent. We enjoyed it so much we stayed an extra week.

Great teachers , and fantastic meals . Familiar atmosphere!!!
Excellent experience.

This was my second time at Ecole des Trois Ponts and it was terrific. As before everything was well organized, and the meals and setting were delightful. The teachers are superb; I'm amazed how well they can untie my tongue when I am speaking French. All the staff were friendly and reinforced the language learning.
I highly recommend the Gourmet Excursion week. It was a way to delve into the passion and spirit of France that you cannot get from visiting tourist sites or restaurants.

I spent a glorious two weeks at Ecole des Trois Ponts in April.
The meals and accommodations were excellent. The staff are all professional, inspiring and really want you to have the best experience and learn french. At Ecole des Trois Ponts they create an atmosphere that is warm, welcoming and fun, all great elements to enhance learning. Many of the participants who were there had been to the school before. I can see why, I can certainly see myself returning!

My experience at the school was superb. The teachers are highly qualified, attentive, and very helpful. They are genuinely interested in improving your ability to understand and speak French. The best part is that, while you are being aided to improve your French, you are also learning about the culture, wine, cheese, and history of France. I had a delightful week at the school and there was a perfect balance between grammar and fun!
The food was delicious, and authentic, and always came with a thorough explanation from the personable chef, Christophe, including information about the wines and cheeses (all locally sourced).
The rooms, which look out onto the central garden, are comfortable and clean.
I recommend, highly and without reservation, this school.
It was fun, and my French improved a lot.

Ich komme immer wieder gerne zurück in die Ecole des Trois Ponts. Da es sich um eine kleine Schule handelt, ist der Umgang sehr persönlich und herzlich. Dank der Möglichkeit, nebst den interessant gestalteten Französischkursen, Wanderwochen oder Kochkurse zu belegen, habe ich die Gegend und die regionale Küche Kennen gelernt.

I enjoyed and benefitted from my course at Ecole des Trois Ponts. The teachers were professional and most helpful, the accommodation was comfortable and the meals and culinary information provided by Chef Christophe were terrific.

I had a wonderful week at the school this past March! The French instruction was outstanding and my conversation improved!!
As well I enjoyed the school, the rooms, food and surrounding neighbourhood.
I can't wait to return!

I enjoyed everything about this school - the teachers, classes, outings, and food. It was a great experience.

I loved the time I had at the school. Classes are small. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
The food was delicious. A really great ambience at the school. The Directrice, Valérie is amazing and makes sure everything runs smoothly, especially if you have any issues she will sort them out quickly. All teachers are excellent although students have their preferences of course. I will be back!!

Ecole des Trois Ponts is an amazing organization. It is run in a very efficient manner, but more importantly it is a great atmosphere for learning. Small classes, great food and exceptional staff. Everyone you meet there is fantastic. I look forward to returning.
