3 semaines en famille d’accueil et 2 nuits à Paris
An individual 3 week family stay provides a longer opportunity for true immersion in the language and culture – the best way to make real progress in the language and to better understand the culture by living it.
This program is open to individual students with sufficient language skills and personal motivation to live with a host family for 3 weeks. Then, travel by train to Paris to join a group of L&F students and a teacher for 2 nights in Paris.
