We have partnered with Anne-Marie, who runs Livin’ French out of her beautiful gîte in Burgundy, since 2018. Located near Mâcon, the lodging is the perfect place from which to discover Burgundy’s wine country. Anne-Marie has put together an amazing program, with French classes in the morning (using the Coucou method!) and cultural visits in the afternoon.

The program’s length and content are fully customizable. Our students who have attended all praised Anne-Marie for her gift as a teacher, tour guide and cook, as well as her deep knowledge of the region and connections with local wine-makers and chefs. You can do your homework poolside and then treat yourself to a Michelin-starred dinner in Lyon – a real French treat!

Active since 2014, ComEnFrance prides itself on its experienced teachers and small group sizes to provide learning of the highest quality. Its cozy location in the heart of Bordeaux is the perfect place from which to explore the city and the surrounding region.

Programs include guided walking tours of Bordeaux’s historic center and excursions to Saint-Émilion, Arcachon and the famous dune du Pyla, one of France’s natural wonders. Classes on wine and French gastronomy are offered, as well as DELF-DALF prep courses. Various accommodation solutions and homestays are available upon request – market-fresh, home-cooked dinners paired with local wines are included.

Québec City’s historic district is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring the only fortified city walls remaining in North America. Québec City is also the cradle of French-speaking culture in the Americas, and the only major city in Canada that offers a 100% French-speaking environment, making it the ideal location for a French immersion program.

Edu-Inter boasts modern facilities and 13 years of teaching experience. Like Coucou, it offers 7 levels of French courses in small groups, from complete beginner to advanced. To ensure a complete French immersion experience, the school combines high quality classes with excursions and cultural activities, offering modules on cooking, music, the dramatic arts and even winter sports. Accommodation can be provided, and the school can help with all the practical considerations of your stay.

Perfectly located near the world-famous surf spot of Capbreton-Hossegor on the Atlantic coast, Surf & French is a great way to combine language instruction and physical activity. French lessons take place in the morning and surf lessons in the afternoon or vice versa, depending on the tide. Groups are kept small to provide optimal support for each student from the highly qualified teachers. Students’ level of French is pre-assessed before the trip, and the surf lessons are led by a French-speaking instructor.

Optional accommodation is provided in a shared house which includes a quiet garden terrace, kitchen and beautifully furnished rooms. In addition, the program features optional daily yoga classes on the beach and a day trip to Saint-Emilion and Bordeaux to showcase the best the region has to offer. The school is available to help participants with the logistics of their trip.
