Thanks very much Lori and Laine. Have now booked with CEILA and will let you know how it goes. There are so many French language schools in France, it was difficult to know which to choose.  Most of them seem to charge about 250 euros per week for about 20 hours group tuition, for short courses. The CEILA was the only one I found which said it was "Association à but non lucratif " (non profit), which can't be a bad thing. I did find one language school in Lyon which was charging 280 euros for 4 weeks! which seems very low.  I wonder if that one was more about non-EU citizens finding a way into Europe for other purposes, like those that exist in London (where the number of people registered is much greater than the number of people in the classes).  

Hello I'm interested in taking a two-week course in France, to improve my French. I've found the "Cercle d'Echanges Interculturels et Linguistiques" (CEILA) in Avignon which according to its website seems to offer what I want.  However I wouldn't normally go on a holiday/enrol in something without checking up on other people's experiences. I've tried googling this language school with various keywords, but I can find very little about it. Usually these days you can find reviews on such things in holiday forums / blogs to get an impression of people's experiences.  Can anyone offer comments on this language school, recommend others, or suggest any forums which focus on language schools? Many thanks
