B school is a bilingual (French/English) nursery and primary school. We cater for children from the age of two, until they leave for secondary school.

Our aim at B School is to create a learning atmosphere, where children will be happy in a pleasant environment in the heart of Montpellier. (within easy reach of the Ave. de Toulouse.)

Uzes, Pont du Gard and Haribo

Fancy a day out that's fun for adults and kids? Around 1 hour's drive from Montpellier...

Try going to Uzes for a walk around - great on a Saturday morning as it's the market - beware it can be very busy, especially in the Summer - window shopping is great there too. Buy yourself a picnic whilst you are there.

Then over to the Pont du Gard - only a few minutes in the car - great for a run around for the kids - find a patch of grass or a rock to sit down for your picnic - there is a film show (which is quite expensive) and a cafe (good choice and not expensive) there.

Finally, if you have energy - go over to Haribo the sweet museum / factory - freebies, a fabulous factory shop (the highlight of the trip actually) and lots of thing to sniff, poke and play with.

Rugby School in Poussan

No doubt there are a few kiddy's rugby schools around - but I found details of the one in Poussan in a free newspaper.

It says it was restructured in 2006 and has 150 boys and girls aged from 5 to 15yrs - looked after by 15 unpaid, diplomed helpers.

Their website is here.

Poussan is only 30 mins from Montpellier

Sledging near to Montpellier (Cevennes)

Fancy a day out with fun in the snow for the kids?

Prat Peyrot and Esperou are the places to go and are the nearest to Montpellier - just 86kms and around 1 hour 40 mins drive.

Esperou is the lower of the two resorts with a very wide area for 'luge' - this is also the place to rent your sledge (smaller plastic ones can be bought for around Euro10 from the supermarket) - larger ones (well all sizes) can be rented in Esperou for a day or half day. There are a few restaurants in Esperou - Prat Peyrot is only the ski area another 4 kms up the mountain and just has a self service restaurant (no rental places or hotels or bars...so rent enroute up the mountain if you want to continue on to Prat Peyrot).

You can rent equipment (including sledges) from here for around Euro5 to Euro8.

Details on Aigoual incl prices of ski lift passes are here.

How much snow you can expect to find here is here.

And webcams showing the toboggan runs are here.
