Overview
Accent Français teaches in central Montpellier, close to the main Saint-Roch station. Its Standard course combines classroom French with tutoring and a weekly workshop, leaving part of the day free to practise in the city. It suits learners who want a steady course and time for independent study or cultural activities. The school assigns morning or afternoon classes, so leave some flexibility before booking other activities. The school’s two addresses in central Montpellier are on rue Jules Ferry and rue de Verdun. Its registration instructions direct new students to rue de Verdun for a Monday welcome meeting. This is worth checking before setting out from the railway station or your accommodation. The weekday schedule is a fit for learners who want regular general French, but may also want time outside class to explore on foot or use the optional academic support. The school dates its Montpellier operation to 1998 and describes its location in the historic centre near the main tram and rail connections.

Both estimates include 28 nights with an extra night added to the standard Sunday-to-Saturday booking, subject to availability. Housing placement is free. The host provides return transfer within the school’s stated Montpellier arrival window, 8 am to 10 pm.

Accommodation
Both examples are private rooms in a host home. The half-board plan includes breakfast and dinner, with no kitchen access. The self-catering option provides access to a shared kitchen and bathroom and includes no meals. Hosts may live up to 45 minutes away, so check the commute and coordinate arrival directly with the host. Confirm the extra night and both transfer times before buying tickets. If you choose a self-catering room, confirm whether the host has set times for kitchen use. In the half-board option, check whether any requested diet is possible and what supplement would be billed. The host’s address determines the route to the school.
