Whether you take our residential French classes or whether you are simply looking for a short to medium term accommodation, we may have a place for you:
French Class is situated in a leafy village in the countryside 35 km from Brussels city centre, near the extraordinary university and fully pedestrian town of Louvain-la-Neuve and at a wingspan from Hergé’s house, the father of the famous Belgian reporter and national hero, Tintin.
The easiest way of getting there is by car, but it is also possible by bus, train, taxi, or to get lifts or to get lifts from French Class people. It is 4 km from the nearest train station and shopping area. The house is on a slope and you need to have a normally fit body to stay there.
The flat available for rent for newcomers to Belgium or for trainees has the following features:
- Suited for one person with a possibility of having occasional guests,
- An annexe to French Class office and the family main building, a new South facing bio-climatic wooden house,
- In a very quiet and secure area,
- Fully equipped, down to cutlery and bed linen
Usual minimum duration of stay : 3 months
