The residence is situated opposite the beach, near the old town which is one of the most beautiful parts of Cannes. Many rooms overlook the palm trees in the courtyard to the Mediterranean beyond – perfect for a morning swim before class!
Students who want to experience real immersion in the language and culture of France may choose to stay with a French family.
The number of host families in Cannes is limited, so if you are interested in this unique opportunity, please apply early.

Cannes is renowned worldwide for the beauty of its setting and the magnificence of its festivals.
With a population of 70,000 people, Cannes provides all of the conveniences of cosmopolitan living. Situated on the shores of the Bay of La Napoule, it is well located for travel on the French Riviera.
The mild climate of the Côte d’Azur is also ideal for those who enjoy outdoor life.
Aude Romens
I was born in Paris, but I grew up in Cannes. I studied 2 years, communication, art & languages at Nice university. After my studies, I decided to travel on my own, in different countries and continents such as Europe, America, Asia, Australia and north Africa. I speak French, English, Spanish and Italian.
I started to work with AIFS in 2004. I was in charge of the cultural activities. I have a strong knowledge of the Provence area, climate, architecture, culture, and economy. I will be pleased to help all students with any questions or concerns during their stay in France and share my culture with them.

Social identity & access

The resources, community, and support available to you when abroad will likely be different as well. In order to help you prepare for your experience, we have compiled many resources about social identity and access in specific locations abroad.
