French Immersion Stay in Avignon - Le Français chez Julie

You’ll be staying in my place, where you’ll enjoy your own fully equipped accommodation, complete with a large bedroom with queen-size bed and ensuite bathroom. The apartment is located in a historic town house building on a quiet street at the heart of Avignon’s inner city, or intramuros. I can host up to 6 persons (2 large rooms, each with its own bathroom, plus a sofa-bed).

I am a certified, experienced professor of French as a foreign language, and I also hold degrees in French literature, in sociology and anthropology. I will be teaching you French every morning for 3 hours. I speak English, German and Portuguese fluently, and I can tailor my classes to your needs, depending on your native language, your objectives and your interests.

The best way to learn French is to learn the language in an informal fashion, in France, in the company of local people. That is why I have designed this FRENCH IMMERSION STAY IN AVIGNON: come and learn cultural subtleties behind the post-card for tourists, meet people you would not get to meet otherwise, taste the cuisine prepared locally, visit the many local museums and dive into the history of the city, the region, and the country.

Your stay also includes 2 meals per day (breakfast and lunch) and 2 excursions where I will be your own dedicated guide.

I will prepare breakfast and lunch –and I am very choosy when it comes to picking the right market-fresh, quality products and prepare them, family style. You are welcome to join me for shopping and or cooking. I will be happy to share my kitchen tips and some secret recipes.

I will also take you on two excursions or activities of your choice: e.g. tasting wine in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, canoeing under the Pont du Gard, visit some gorgeous villages off the beaten track in the Luberon, or stroll through the famous Saturday morning market in Uzès’ Place aux Herbes, discover the deep scent of truffles from local producers, or take pottery class, etc. Lots of possibilities just for you, everything is tailor-made!
