Activity programme from 18 to 24 December 2023

Come and live a complete experience with us thanks to our French courses, our accommodation and our weekly cultural programme! Every week we offer a great programme: between city tours, yoga (ashtanga) classes and excursions, our students never see the time pass! And in French, of course!

The Christmas season is very associated with family, friends with whom we spends good moments, warm and around a good meal. Christmas is synonymous with eating well, and sometimes from very old tradition. This is the case of the 13 Christmas dessert, which is a Christian gastronomic tradition. We tell you all about this one on our blog:
