Our partner school, founded in 1985 and accredited by the French government, is located in Antibes and hosts over 7000 students per year.

The classes are held in small groups of maximum 15 students per class. The teachers and animators are also present wherever other participants are having fun, be it at the pool, at games, on a trip to Monaco, at the Nautical Amusement Park or at the Lérins Islands.

In the afternoon, during 3 hours (Monday to Friday), the sailing course takes place. All under the supervision of qualified staff of the Antibes Sailing Club.
