Experience an unforgettable 19-day cultural immersion in France designed specifically for students aged 15–18. This comprehensive study tour combines intensive French language practice, authentic family living, and exploration of iconic French destinations. You'll spend 12 days in Bordeaux, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its stunning 18th-century architecture, living with a carefully screened local host family and attending a traditional French high school alongside peers your own age. This full immersion gives you the chance to speak French daily, experience French teenage life, and build lifelong friendships while improving your language skills in real-world contexts. Beyond the classroom, you'll explore Bordeaux's architectural treasures—including the Grand Théâtre, Cathédrale Saint-André, and the famous Miroir d'Eau reflecting pool—plus day excursions to picturesque Saint-Émilion and the coastal town of Arcachon. The final five days take you to Paris, where you'll stay in a centrally located hotel near Notre-Dame and visit world-renowned landmarks including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Sacre-Cœur, and the Champs-Élysées, with optional visits to Disneyland Paris or the Palace of Versailles. The program includes round-trip flights from Australia, all meals with your host family, train travel to Paris, professional chaperones, travel insurance, a local coordinator throughout, and carefully planned excursions. This is more than a tourist trip—it's a chance to live the language, understand French culture from the inside, and return home with renewed passion for French studies, deeper confidence in your language abilities, and memories that will enhance your academic performance and broaden your global perspective.
