About the trip

This trip's primary purpose is to give students the opportunity for language immersion in French. Students will be travelling to Antibes, a town near Nice, on the Mediterranean sea. Antibes is a beautiful city, nicknamed "the cultural heart of the Côte d'Azur".

We will have 8 days / 7 nights in the South of France.

Students will take a language course in the morning followed by activities in the afternoons. There will be opportunities to visit other French cities such as Cannes, St Paul de Vence, Grasse and Monaco, as well as take part in activities like High ropes, Laser Quest, Pétanque and a crêpes evening. There will be opportunities to use your language skills outside the classroom with cultural visits, buying lunch and other activities in the cities and towns we visit. Also, students will be staying (in groups of two) with local host families who speak only French, which is where immersion really comes into its own. This is usually the aspect of the trip that most students find most enjoyable.
