Learn French while discovering the Chateaux of the Loire Valley, the museums of Paris, the secrets of Provence, the wines of Bordeaux or the sandy beaches of the Mediterranean. Our French Language Learning Vacations are designed for independent adult travelers of any age who share a passion for the language, culture and cuisine.
Classes are held every morning with
optional activities and excursions in the afternoon. If you prefer, you may also use your free time on afternoons and weekends
to explore the city of your choice and the unique history of the surrounding region. Available housing includes your choice of fully furnished apartments, hotels with private bath, or rooms in private homes. Programs ranging from one week to three months are offered year round. In addition, all participants may select to begin or end their learning vacation with an optional 2-day, 2-night visit of Paris (except for those in the Paris program).
