Testimonials

Thank you for a wonderful stay. We learned a lot about French, the French people, and French cuisine. But that’s not all. Most importantly, we made two new friends. You helped us even before our trip, and from the very beginning of our trip, you were very kind, helpful, and friendly. We loved everything about our stay: the lessons, Michel’s meals, and the excursions. It was very special to go to the market with you and eat food from the market. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Mark et LynnApril 2025 – 2-week immersion
Dear Anne-Elisabeth and Michel We would like to express our sincere gratitude for this unforgettable month spent completely immersed in the French language and culture. Thanks to your efforts, we had the privilege of taking language classes, enjoying your delicious home-cooked meals, and discovering fascinating places during our excursions. The walks, Zumba sessions at the fitness center, and numerous opportunities to practice French made this trip truly exceptional. Perhaps what is most valuable to me is that I overcame my shyness and am now able to speak French more easily, whether at restaurants or while shopping. For Leszek, the meals prepared by Michel were a real pleasure, as was the long and fascinating conversation about local wines, accompanied by a tasting of other beverages. This stay has been a fantastic experience and it is now difficult to bring ourselves to prepare for our return home. Thank you for everything, Anne-Elisabeth and Michel!
Dotie et Leszek Ann Arbor, MI, USA – 4-week immersion
We enjoyed very much everything about our stay with Anne-Elisabeth and her family ; the warm welcome, excellent conversation over special meals, being included into family events, and just overall having so much fun.
Ruth and AndyUSA
My third immersion experience and the best to date. Anne- Elisabeth and Michel are fantastic hosts, and having our own private apartment was a nice luxury. The setting close to the ancient village, the river and all ammenities, (including the tram), was another unexpected bonus. Anne-Elisabeth was the perfect teacher for my wife and myself, and I left with more confidence and ambition in my journey to learn the French language. Highly recommend this immersion.
