French Language Courses in France!

French courses here at Le Poyenval can be the perfect answer for those wishing to improve their understanding of French, especially the speaking and listening skills.


Do you want to improve your language ability to get more from those holiday visits?

Are you considering a move to France or a second home here?

Do you need to improve your business French?



If the answer to any of these is "yes" then we can help. We cater for all standards, abilities and requirements, from beginners through to the more advanced. Our courses are suitable either for individuals or small groups, using intensive teaching methods with lessons that will improve your fluency in French whilst you gain a better understanding of French customs and the way of life.

Courses are residential; as a student you stay with us in our home, rather than in nearby lodgings or a hotel. Your ability with French will improve whilst you absorb the French atmosphere (both in our home and in the village of which we are a part) throughout the duration of your course.

Accommodation is available for partners and families of those attending our courses if required.

Our course fees are fully inclusive, and cover all that you need from the time that you arrive until the time that you leave us - accommodation, food, tuition, course materials, all are included.

Holiday Accommodation

France is without doubt one of the most popular countries of Europe for both holidays and short breaks, and we are lucky enough to live in one of the most beautiful areas of the country.

The Vendée and other parts of the Western Loire have something to offer visitors with a wide range of holiday interests. The Vendee weather is wonderful, and photographers and artists can enjoy the countryside with its varied and stunning scenery. The area is ideal for walking, cycling, golf, fishing or horse riding. The picturesque sea shore of the French Atlantic coastline, with its excellent beaches, is within easy reach by car and there is boating on the inland waterways of the Marais Poitevin.

Chambres d'hôtes (bed and breakfast) facilities and self catering gîtes here at Le Poyenval provide a comfortable base from which to tour the wonderful Vendée and the rest of the magnificent Western Loire region.

Our gites (located within the grounds surrounding the main house) are ideal for family holidays or longer breaks and, like the other facilities, open all year round. Summer visitors are welcome to use our open air swimming pool.
