Saint-Malo
Saint-Malo, built on what was formerly an island, has been a Privateers' town and international commercial port since the Middle Ages. Its high stone façades, reconstructed post WW2, stand proudly defying the sea since the 17th Century. You can admire them while taking a walk along the ramparts which still enclose the whole town, before discovering the 300 or so shops and restaurants in this tourist haven.
I had a lot of language teachers in the course of my career as an interpreter, and the instructor with whom I worked with during my EMFLI course is amongst the best I ever had. Not only is he competent and conscientious, but he immediately identified my weaknesses and my needs, and adapted my course programme consequently. He also managed to create a relaxed and motivating atmosphere during the lessons, and gave me a real interest in the French language and culture. My French course at EMFLI is definitely one of the best language courses I have ever attended.
