A spectacular coastline stretching from Nice to the small harbor town of Beaulieu-sur-Mer exemplifies the
best of the French Riviera. Nice’s famous Promenade des Anglais offers dazzling views of the Mediterranean, while the many outdoor cafés, restaurants, and boutiques of the vibrant Rue de France bring alive the café culture of Southern France.
Our program in Nice is designed for students who are
interested in French language, art, culture, literature
and cuisine. You will experience the French way of life
while living in an apartment residence, shopping for
groceries in local markets, preparing traditional French
meals and having time to simply enjoy Southern France.
Advanced French students also have the opportunity to
directly enroll in university courses for the chance to
receive college credit.
HOUSING
Abbey Road students and staff live together in a modern
student residence in the beautiful Old Port neighborhood in
the heart of town, just a short walk away from the beaches
of the Promenade des Anglais. All students will have their
own single-room studio apartment, complete with a private
bathroom and a kitchenette.

On this program, our staff members create a language immersion environment for the students, introducing them to local culture, cuisine and art, helping them improve their French in class, on cultural excursions and during their daily interaction.
In my experience what the students like most about this program is living in a comfortable modern residence right in the center of Nice. Each student has a private studio with a private bathroom, kitchenette and high speed Internet. The residence is near the port of Nice with its authentic shops, cafés and restaurants. We deliver fresh food for our students daily and often cook together using traditional French recipes. We also enjoy group meals at many local restaurants.
Student residences are more suitable for an independent student, who is looking for clean, basic accommodation at an economic price. All students must be 14 - 18. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about student residence accommodation
