Immersion in a charming house
We are Ophélie, Oscar, Camille, and Pauline, a cosmopolitan Franco-American family.
We can teach you French or English.
We have two daughters aged 3 and 5.
We are passionate about languages and cultures from around the world. We have traveled extensively around the globe, which is why we would be delighted to share our passion for languages and discovering another culture.
I also hold a degree in teaching French as a foreign language obtained in the United States. I have taught in London and Paris as well. I will be happy to accompany you in your learning during this immersion stay.
We are a host family for a language school in La Rochelle and we regularly welcome European students.
It is always a great experience and we look forward to sharing our region with you.
For that, I will take you around the area by bike. We will discover the old town of La Rochelle and its towers.
We will visit the nearby beaches.
There, I can book a surf, kayak, sailing, horseback riding, or paddleboarding lesson.
We will spend a day at the Puy du Fou park, an absolutely fabulous medieval theme park, which is an hour away from home.
We will visit ancient fortified medieval towns.
We will spend a day on the Île de Ré, visiting picturesque villages, and a surf or paddleboarding lesson will be organized on-site.
Your child will be picked up at the La Rochelle train station or at the airport depending on your arrival.
There are airports in La Rochelle, Poitiers, Nantes, Bordeaux, or Paris.
We can discuss this together based on the group and needs.
We can't wait to welcome you and show you La Rochelle and its surroundings.
See you soon!
We have a room with two single beds. It can accommodate between 1 to 2 people. The bathroom is shared with the family.
We have a second room that has its own bathroom, which can also be used for 2 people.
The day starts around 8-8:30 am, and we have a great French breakfast as a family. Then we will have a very specific itinerary with activities and visits to unusual places every day. We will use bikes a lot since the region allows it, and it’s very pleasant to discover La Rochelle this way. The old town is 8 minutes away by bike and the beach is 10 minutes by bike. Dinner takes place between 7 and 7:30 pm, as a family. We often end the evening with a board game as a family or a movie night.
