I wanted to thank you for 2 lovely weeks in the French Alps and in my French school classes. You can’t control the snow and weather but you managed to produce just enough snow so I could enjoy my skiing vacation. My French class was a lovely break from the slopes each afternoon and gave my family a little time ‘away’ from mom. It was terrific – a lovely town – the apartment was beautiful and well situated for our walking needs…and our last night at La Grange was wonderful.

I hope you have a little break between winter and the summer visitors to enjoy a walk along the river (thank you tour guide for that great suggestion).

Thank you and wishing you well with the new season.

Corinne was brilliant, really enjoyed the class, lots of fun and have really developed my confidence this week. You have inspired me to carry on! Thank you!

I loved the school, loved the team, loved my teachers. So happy I chose your school! Not only the school team was helpful with study related aspects, but very flexible and accommodating to students’ personal needs. I only wish I had more time in Morzine to continue my French journey with you. Thank you :)

- Fariza Aliyeva

I would absolutely recommend Alpine French School! I loved the class, it was challenging, engaging, informative. I learned appropriate cultural information of France, Morzine, le vin etc. Nicolas est très gentil and fair and knowledgeable, formidable comme prof. I would highly recommend this school for the adult classes.
