Thank you a thousand times for a brilliant couple of months. I am really pleased with the improvement in my French ……………. I've enjoyed every aspect of my stay and I'm already looking forward to my return.

I've so enjoyed my visit to your home, village, and to France. What a lovely way to learn your language. I hope to visit again. I leave with a warm feeling for France and feel I've made some new friends. Merci beaucoup!

An incredible week. I learned so much and gained in confidence. Merci  à Septembre.
Gay, Northants.
 
Je cherchais un excellent cours intensif de français et je l'ai trouvé ici, et j'en ai beaucoup profité. Je voulais pension complète et j'ai trouvé ici un second chez-moi (mais les repas sont beaucoup plus délicieux!) Et en plus, j'ai trouvé ici de vrais amis - je les remercie de tout mon coeur de leur gentillesse et leur amitié. Vive l'internet!

My three weeks of French Immersion were a wonderful mixture of personalized instruction, interesting conversations over dinner and relaxing walks in the countryside.

I would like to tell anyone who wants to learn the French language better, to go to Le Poyenval as quickly as possible. Le Poyenval is a small chateau with a great welcome and you will enjoy yourself very much whilst learning French. Linda and François are great.

Great welcome, super food, delightful setting, excellent teaching - each on its own would make the trip worthwhile! The course gave me an understanding of a facet of life in France which is usually hidden from foreigners.

Thank you for sharing your home, the French Language, charming Bazoges and the French culture with us.

Here you can have your French as intensive as you want it. You can restrict it to the thought-provoking formal lessons, continue at table while enjoying the ample and varied meals, or speak it all the time. Whichever it is, you can relax into the family atmosphere and space provided by Le Poyenval, surrounded by the pleasant countryside of the Vendée
