What if I let my customers tell the story of their trip like they did it on my Google page?

Susan wrote : Anne-Elisabeth is a delightful teacher and host. My 2 weeks with her and her charming husband Michel were wonderful. Anne-Elisabeth is an excellent French language coach, who approaches each student in a very individual manner. She listens attentively, and determines the best approach for that person. Throughout the classes, she is flexible, creative, and very interactive. I have learned so much! Montpellier is a beautiful city, with historic buildings, monuments, and a lovely big public garden. The lovely Mediterranean weather was perfect.

Ron wrote : My third immersion experience and the best to date. Anne-Elisabeth and Michel are fantastic hosts, and having our own private apartment was a nice luxury. The setting close to the ancient village, the river and all amenities, (including the tram), was another unexpected bonus. Anne-Elisabeth was the perfect teacher for my wife and myself, and I left with more confidence and ambition in my journey to learn the French language. Highly recommend this immersion.
