French Immersion Stays in the Basque Country
A personal and authentic French immersion on the Basque coast.
Spend one or two weeks immersed in French, in a setting that feels both personal and authentic.
Live, speak and practise the language every day, naturally and continuously.
A French immersion, just for you 🌸
This isn’t a big school or a shared house. It’s time spent in my home,
where French becomes part of your everyday life.
A certified teacher, fully dedicated to you
With professional training and years of experience, I guide and support you with care during your stay.
A Personal Immersion
Just you or you as a couple.
No groups, no fixed schedule shared with others.
Your progress is my priority each day.
Continuous French Practice
Lessons are only part of the day. French continues in conversations, activities and everyday life.
Life on the Basque Coast
During your stay, I introduce you to the Basque coast as I know and love it, from its most beautiful spots to local markets, unique activities and regional specialties.
French comes alive in those moments.
Before You Arrive
Before you come, we take time to get to know each other. We talk about your level, your goals, and what you’re looking for, often over a couple of video calls.
Your stay begins long before you arrive.
What You Leave With
You don’t just practise French here.
You leave more confident, speaking more freely,
with real progress and unforgettable memories of your time on the Basque coast.
This immersion is for people who want more than lessons, who want to feel confident speaking French in everyday life.

A typical day during the immersion ☀️
The program is structured, but remains flexible. I adjust the lessons and activities depending on the weather, your energy, and how the week unfolds.
Here’s what a day in immersion can look like.
9:30 – 12:00
Morning lessons take place in a calm atmosphere, just after breakfast on the terrace. This is where we make sense of what you’ll experience during the day: building vocabulary, expressions, and working on listening and reading.
I vary the activities and adapt to your needs so you can progress steadily.
12:00 – 13:30
Lunch is light and relaxed.
Sometimes we cook together, sometimes I prepare something simple, and sometimes we take a picnic outside.
It’s a natural break in the day, an easy moment to slow down, talk, and enjoy being in France without feeling like you’re in class.
14:00 – late afternoon
Afternoons are dedicated to activities adapted to your program and interests.
French is part of everything we do, in everyday moments we share together.
Evening
Evenings are calm and flexible.
We may share dinner, talk about the day, listen to music, or simply rest. If there’s an evening event, we may go together, or you’re free to go on your own.
The pace is relaxed and balanced, leaving time to practice French, rest, and simply enjoy the stay.
