LINES wants to offer its students the summer of their lives: learn or improve French, make friends from all over the world, visit amazing places, have exciting and fun activities.

Lessons take place in the morning with professional native speaker teachers. The course covers the main language skills: speaking, reading, writing, listening, grammar and vocabulary. The main difference is that the course is combined with a social skill.
