What makes this immersion different?
A French immersion homestay is a unique way to experience French in France. By living with your teacher, you practise the language in real-life situations throughout the day, while discovering the culture and lifestyle of South-West France.
You stay in your teacher’s home, so there is no commuting between your accommodation and your French lessons. From breakfast conversations to structured lessons and everyday interactions, French becomes part of your daily life. You receive guidance and support while using the language naturally, both inside and outside the classroom.
One-to-one lessons, tailored to you
Your 15 hours of French lessons are tailored to your level, needs and goals. You can come on your own or share the lessons with a second learner of a similar French level. A companion who does not take lessons is also welcome to stay with you.
The rest of your time is yours to enjoy: relax, explore Hossegor and the surrounding area, discover local culture and gastronomy, or simply experience everyday life in South-West France.
Who is this French immersion for?
This French immersion is designed for adults from A1 to B2 level who want to improve their French through personalised lessons and everyday communication, rather than in a traditional language school.
It can be particularly valuable if you want to gain confidence speaking French, prepare for life in France, reconnect with French after a long break, or simply take your French beyond the classroom and into real life.
Whether you come on your own or with a companion, your lessons are tailored to your level, needs and goals. If two learners share the lessons, they must have a similar level of French.
Why choose a French immersion homestay in Hossegor?
My husband and I welcome you into our home for a genuine French immersion experience.
Staying in a private home means that French is part of your everyday environment, not just something you practise during your lessons. You can share meals, conversations and everyday moments with native French speakers, while enjoying the comfort and privacy of a home away from home.
Whether you come on your own or with a companion who is not taking lessons, you can discover the beaches, markets, food, culture and relaxed lifestyle of South-West France.

* Arrival and departure days can be adapted according to availability. Similarly, lesson times can be flexible to take advantage of (among other things) the weather and the sea conditions, an important factor for those of you who love to surf.
