A very friendly, French feel

Our French language trip is based in the beautiful city of Reims in France’s Champagne region. Reims gives your students a real opportunity to witness a working city with a very friendly, French feel. In addition to morning French lessons at our language school, you’ll have the chance to visit one of the many champagne houses for a guided visit in French, as well as see Reims’ magnificent cathedral and explore the rich cultural and historical diversity of nearby medieval Troyes. For a day of fun, you can easily visit either Disneyland Paris or Parc Asterix from your base in Reims.
