Hi,
Has anyone been to any French language schools in Nice? If so, what did you think? I'm trying to decide between France Langue or going to another school in Nice or Marseille.
I'm looking for:
-Class sizes no bigger than 12 students
-Family home stays (which is why I've decided against the school at Villefranche-sur-Mer, as recommended as that seems to be)
-Classmates (mostly) over 25 years of age (I'm 31, and do not want to be surrounded by teenagers and/or college kids)
I'm planning a last minute 6 week trip for this January, so I'm trying to get info as quickly as possible to start booking things.
Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks!

It can be hard to avoid the young ones at language schools. Some schools offer 50+ classes for older students but may not let you join (or you may feel that this demographic is also not right for you). Try searching for language schools in Nice that offer 'Executive English' - they are more likely to attract the thirty-something age group. IH Nice could be one.
Also check out the free guide at LanguageSchoolSecrets.com for tips on choosing good schools and saving money when you book.
Hi, Nice is very close to Villefranche, so you can always take public transport if you want to be based in Nice. I studied in VSM, and loved it (I rented an apartment in Villefranche for the duration of my stay).
A friend of mine used Apple Languages this past spring and did a 4 week course in Aix en Provence, staying with a local family arranged by the school.
I think they have multiple locations in France.
She had all good things to say about it.
Thanks for the advice - I decided on France Langue after all. Hopefully I've made the right choice!
