French course in France

Interest forums / Speaking in Tongues

Hi there
I would like to brush up my French next spring, my age is 57. There are many language schools in France but my problem is that I don't want to attend courses with 18 year old teenagers. Could someone give me a tip where I could find a school for more mature students?
Thanks!

Not sure where you're from but try googling "third age language school france"

here's something I found
