    [post_content] => On the first September I travelled from St Pancras Station, London to Carcassonne, where I was to spend 8 days, which included a five day French language course.



The whole package of teaching and accommodation was arranged by Ludo Expression.

Carcassonne, an historic town an hour’s train journey south of Toulouse, is the perfect backdrop for a language course.   Its wonderful castle (Old City) is a symbol of Carcassonne’s fascinating and rich history and the town itself is charming, with the wonderful Place Carnot the hub at its centre. Here, you find all types of restaurants and cafes which provide an excellent variety of food and beverages at a very reasonable price, The centre of the town is less than a five minute walk from the school and very pleasant for lunch, dinner or a late afternoon glass of wine or two and a great for that vital post-class practice.

Our class comprised six students and the mix of age, personalities and language levels worked very well indeed. Dominique is an excellent teacher: professional, supportive and I really benefitted from her interactive teaching method. Our classes were always enjoyable and the small number allowed plenty of speaking time for all. I learned a lot.

The home-stay component of my stay was a super complement to the formal classroom teaching. Alexia, my host, was more than generous with her time, and the opportunities for speaking in this relaxed atmosphere added a further boost to my confidence. My room, with its integral bathroom, was comfortable and quiet; the home-cooked dinner served up by Alexia each evening delicious.

If you like a learning experience which provides a high standard of tailor-made teaching, is professional and has a truly personal touch, I would be very happy to recommend Ludo Expression in Carcassonne.

    [post_content] => It allows us to assess your level of French and to place you in the student group that is most suitable for you.



Another advantage: on the first day of classes after a welcome coffee or tea, you will be able to start your French lessons immediately, unlike at the majority of schools, which spend the first morning assessing your level.

    [post_content] => Carcassonne is one of six European cities and regions selected by the Huffington Post on its US site as a "dream destination" to enjoy retirement.



If Europe is your fantasy, this is the opportunity of your lifetime. Right now, thanks to a weak euro and a surging U.S. dollar, you have more options for realizing your dreams of a new life in the Old World than in a decade or longer. Collapsed property markets and recessed economies mean that both the cost of living and of buying Euro-digs all your own currently qualify as extraordinary bargains across the Continent.

No other region in the world offers the history, the culture, or the lifestyle available in Europe. And I'm not exaggerating when I say that you don't have to come up with a king's ransom to live happily ever after in this timeless land today. With a budget of as little as 1,500 euros per month, you have many realistic and tempting lifestyle options, including...

Carcassonne, France

Walt Disney is said to have been inspired by its towers, turrets, and ramparts, and you can understand why when the sun rises up over the medieval city of Carcassonne in southeast France. It's easy, too, to imagine a knight galloping up the cobbled streets and dashing through the portcullis to save his princess.

Carcassonne, at the heart of Cathar country, was first recorded in pre-Roman times. For centuries, it was an important fortification with views up and down the Aude valley. Today, the city of Carcassonne, capital of the Aude department in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, has two parts to entice full- or part-time residents and retirees--the medieval Cité (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) up on a plateau on the right bank of the river Aude... and the Bastide Saint Louis below the Cité on the left bank. Though the medieval Cité is where most tourists head, the Bastide is where the majority of residents live.

The whole area has much to offer tourists and residents alike. Within the Cité are the medieval castle, St. Nazarius Basilica, boutiques, artists' workshops, and Michelin-starred restaurants. Life in the Bastide is centered on the Place Carnot (where a produce market is held three times a week), with its pretty fountain, street-side cafes, and restaurants.

Just 10 minutes' drive from the city center is an 18-hole golf course and a park with freshwater swimming, hiking, and areas for picnics. Within an hour of Carcassonne are the sandy beaches of the Mediterranean, and 90 minutes away is skiing in the Pyrenees.
