Based on many years of experience in residential language courses, we had the idea of creating a simple, pleasant environnement, well suited in all respects to studying the French language and Civilisation.

A beautiful house surrounded by its own extensive grounds, comfortable lodging and a warm welcome, sharing the teacher and his family's everyday life.

More and more people are looking for special places and experiences

If you like the countryside, sharing culture and relaxed social contact, off the beaten track and away from tourists, and you want to improve and practise your French in a non-stressful setting, this is for you.

Your hosts

Lindie and Bruno Arène will help you to discover much more than just the language: Normandy offers a rich and diverse experience with its distinctive history, its coast, towns, countryside, food and drink. You will be able to enjoy the quiet of their garden, the food French people eat at home, friends at dinner so that you can speak about your life, your work, yourself, art, business, politics and anything else that interests you. There is only one rule: to speak nothing but French.

Speaking only French!

It may seem obvious when one speaks about a complete immersion course in language, but the opportunity to speak only French for a whole week or even more, is seldom available. But this separation from one's native language, is proved to be the only efficient way to make real progress. Twenty years of experience in language courses have confirmed that.
