Our kids have successfully transitioned to the Ardeche school thanks in large part to their teachers from FISW, the standard curriculum of the french school system, their competence with french and last but not least, the welcome they have received at the Ardeche schools. We live incredibly close to the upper school (grade 3 - 5 equivalent) but the younger kids (kindergarten through 2nd grade equivalent) take a bus to their school which is about 5 km away. 
It is a bus reminiscent of the film Être et Avoir.

Included is some art that I saw in the class....I've seen it somewhere else! (I think French teachers get their ideas from each other!). The play yard is through a covered area and is very stark compared to ours in North America. 
It is a fine gravel with tires on the ground to play in. No swings, no slides, no climbing structures. And you know what? The kids make up their games and enjoy the yard. Maybe we spoil our kids in NA play yards! 
The kindergarten school yard is even smaller but they have a small park that they walk too. The library is very small. It is open Tuesday nights so everyone is welcome to check out books.
