Her generosity, sens of humour and dedication make you feel very cared for, and along with Vincent and Apolline, I felt welcome as part of their family.
nimes provence
City of art and history
Lulled by its lilting accent imbued with the sunshine of the Midi, Nîmes radiates both Latin and contemporary splendor! From its ancient past, the city nicknamed "French Rome" has inherited sumptuous Roman monuments: from the Arènes to the Maison Carrée and the Tour Magne, you'll be amazed by their remarkable state of preservation!
A skilful blend of antiquity and modernity, Nîmes evokes the image of a Roman city par excellence, as much for the richness of its monuments inherited from the past as for the originality of its contemporary buildings, which have been harmoniously integrated over time. During your immersion with your French Teacher, enjoy a delicious lunch (starter, main course, dessert, water, coffee and a glass of wine of your choice or an alcohol-free cocktail) at the restaurant Le Skab and meet the chef Damien Sanchez and his team complimented by the Michelin guide (starred restaurant) and the Gault et Millau
