UPCOMING
Coucou French Classes and Rêverie have teamed up to provide the ideal immersive experience for French learners to practice their language skills and dive into the rich culinary traditions of Southwest France.
We’ll be staying in the ever-so-charming (and stunning!) Château de Labusquière, in the Gers region of Southwest France, just 45 minutes from Toulouse! There’s just one rule for the week: once you step foot into the château, « on ne parle que français ! ». From coffee in the morning to the last sip of wine, Coucou and Rêverie will provide a fully immersive experience where French is the only language spoken.
There’s no better way to improve your conversation skills – and we can’t think of a better experience to make it happen!

For our first Coucou trip, we took a group of 15 students to the French Caribbean island of Saint-Martin for 3 days of exploring, partying and learning.
Activities included French games by the pool, hiking in the rain forest and enjoying the beach.

Our second trip took us closer to home. We spent 3 days in a renovated private farmstead located a few hours North of NYC.
The weekend included a treasure hunt, a film making competition in French and wine tasting, amongst other activities!

We had such a blast in Saint-Martin that we decided to go back and we don't regret it!
This time, the program included a cooking competition, a boat ride to neighboring island of Anguilla and of course, lots of beach time and cocktails!
