Summer Immersion in France with a host family

Enjoy a homestay immersion experience this summer with a French host family. You'll travel with a bilingual chaperone and end the program with a 3-day tour of Paris.

Welcome to France! Spend your summer immersed in the beauty of French language and culture while living with a host family through our Summer French Immersion Program. Start your day with a delicious café au lait, discover your French hometown with your new friends, and develop a nice French accent through animated conversations with hosts! On this program, you will also have the chance to meet French teens.
