Overview
Institut Linguistique Adenet, also listed as International House Montpellier, teaches French in Montpellier. Its Standard programme suits learners who want a general course and time for practice outside class. Learners who want a heavier timetable can add group skills work or individual lessons. The school arranges both local host families and residence options, which differ in meals, transfer and independence. ILA publishes a guide for incoming students that covers its teaching buildings and practical information for settling into Montpellier. This is useful before the first day if your arrival instructions name a specific reception. The Standard course suits students looking for a weekday general French routine, with extra teaching available through a higher-intensity schedule. A host stay can provide more opportunity to speak French outside class, while a residence gives students a different daily routine. Check the course dates and housing calendar together.

Fees
| Item | Rate | Conditions | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard French tuition | EUR 260 / week | 2026 rate for one to four weeks. Registration (€80), accommodation and meals are extra. | 2026-11-07 |
In the 2026 one-to-four-week tier, Standard French costs €260 per week plus €80 registration, or €1,120 with materials. A half-board host single is €230 × 4 plus €50 for an extra night, giving €2,090 with study for 28 nights, subject to availability. Return transfer with the host between Montpellier airport or railway station and the homestay is included from 08:30 to 22:30, subject to host availability. A standard student-residence single is also listed at €230 per week outside July and August, with extra nights at €50 and a summer supplement of €20 per week. Confirm its precise booking dates, any deposit and separate transfer costs. Flights and insurance are separate. The half-board calculation includes €970 for the room and extra night. The standard residence has the same published off-season weekly rate, but the room, meals, transfer and possible deposit differ. A full four-week July or August supplement at €20 a week would add €80 if the tariff applies throughout. Keep that supplement separate from the host-home estimate and confirm the applicable dates.

Accommodation
The half-board host single includes breakfast and dinner. Ask the accommodation team about bathroom access and meal requirements. The standard residence option has a private room with a private bathroom and cooking facilities, with shared- and private-kitchen variants. The residence is for adults. Confirm the assigned building, check-in dates and whether the extra night can be reserved. ILA says it sends residence details two to three weeks before arrival. Ask which kitchen arrangement will be in the offer. For a host booking, confirm whether the host can meet the arrival and return transport times and verify the pickup point.
