Homestay with locals in French for John - October 1 to 8, 2025

John's experience report:

I've made many trips to France to attend various language schools. This is without a doubt the best. Completely different. One - on - one with Hélène. Like having an electronic blackboard. With google docs, she would write stuff on her device (often amazingly putting down about every word that was said by either of us), and I would simultaneously see it on my iPad. Once home, I review the notes from time to time. The meals she prepared were incredible -- much more than I had ever anticipated. Lyon is a much more manageable town than Paris, and I took a direct train there from CDG. I hope to get back there in another year or so. (Ps., the best thing was their dog , Kick-ass!)

No age limit for riding a bike! =)
