A village between Nantes and the Atlantic Ocean
In the heart of a typical, authentic village just 20 minutes from the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, you’ll experience the French way of life through an unforgettable immersive stay. Located in Loire-Atlantique, this dynamic region straddles the Pays de la Loire and Brittany—a land rich in history that Séverine and Pascal will be happy to share with you with great passion.
A “Customized” Stay
We want to create the best possible stay for you based on what you enjoy doing and your interests. Everything is flexible, so please don’t hesitate to let us know what you’d like to include in your ideal itinerary (more or fewer French lessons, half-board or full-board, etc.) and we’ll make it happen for you… There’s so much to do in Loire-Atlantique that the best approach is undoubtedly to tailor your plans and choices during your French immersion stay with us.
Meals During Your Immersion Stay
We’ll have the chance to go to the market and buy fresh ingredients that we’ll cook together. For lunch, you can take advantage of a fully equipped kitchen to prepare your own meals. Upon request, I can also provide full board tailored to your dietary needs, whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, or have food intolerances or allergies. Anything is possible, and we can plan the menus together.
Meals are an important and crucial time for continuing to learn in a relaxed and informal setting. It’s during these moments that, little by little, your spoken communication becomes more confident and spontaneous. Learning while eating or cooking, chatting about this and that—that’s what makes all the difference.
Where does your immersion stay take place?
Where is the location? Nantes is the historic capital of the Duchy of Brittany, a city rich in history, culture, and heritage with a diverse and varied cultural landscape. We enjoy a very pleasant natural setting in a quintessential small French village.
Our Method: The Neurolinguistic Approach (ANL)
With 30 years of teaching experience, we’re able to provide you with customized French lessons. Our method is based on a precise and thorough assessment of your prior knowledge, both oral and written. We then develop a progressive program to help you improve your overall comprehension and oral skills using the neurolinguistic approach to languages (ANL). Regular instruction in grammar, verb conjugation, and vocabulary will enable you to hold conversations on current topics and write a variety of texts tailored to your needs and interests.
We can teach all levels, from complete beginner to very advanced, and even expert. French classes are held in the morning in a spacious room specifically designed and equipped for this purpose.
Classes are limited to a maximum of two students, so feel free to bring a friend or your spouse. We have in-depth knowledge of our local area and will help you discover its hidden gems as we explore it together. If you work in a specific field and need to improve your professional French, we can tailor a program for you that focuses on French vocabulary and phrases relevant to your profession or specific needs, whatever they may be.
