Bienvenue à l'académie de Flavignerot!
[/size]Welcome to Flavignerot Academy, the school that I, Stephen James founded. We are a school devoted to not only to fine curricular studies but the training of our students in treatment and riding of horses. Our location has provided us with fertile land to accommodate our home, school, and equestrian needs, near Dijon France. We welcome students from everywhere, as do our staff with patience to aid them in understanding our language if they are not acquainted with it. We wish you well and afin que vous ayez une bonne journée!
Three miles from the centre of Dijon, Flavignerot is a tiny hamlet in the Côte-d'Or department in eastern France. Up until now, this small collection of buildings only played host to a population of 23. But in recent years, American born Stephen James converted the left wing of his massive country home into a small private school. However, this isn’t your average school. The James’ family home is surrounded by acres and acres of land which Stephen bought off of his departed wife’s cousin, along with a prestigious stud farm. When Mrs. James passed on following the birth of their third son, Stephen’s passion for the farm died and he found it hard to keep their business afloat. But when one of his sons resumed his mother’s work as a riding instructor, Stephen became inspired once again and set up the boarding school that the place is now locally famous for.
