There, you will be spoilt with beautiful views and guaranteed to improve your French in the most amazing setting all this for only £700 (or £950 if you do not wish to share a room) !
There are 18 spaces available for this trip.

Every morning you will be having French classes after breakfast.
You will have some free time after your French lessons to do as you please and to get lunch where and how you want it.
In the afternoon, you will be discovering the local culture via guided tours, walks, and other activities.
We will have dinner together and converse in French, if you wish to do so 🙂
After dinner, optional group activities will be organised (French quizzes, movie sessions, a game of boules…)
Where will you be staying?
You have the possibility to keep the cost down by sharing beautiful tastefully decorated rooms, all en suite. The beds can be made into twins.
If you do not wish to share a room, you have the option to book the holiday with a room alone, at an additional cost.
The hotel itself will be fully rented to us so there won’t be anything to spoil your experience.
I will be on site with you all the way through the stay to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible… and to give you even more occasions to practise your French skills!

How to get there…
By train….
You can take the Eurostar to Lille or Paris, then take a TGV to Nimes. Once in Nimes, you will need to either take a regional train to Génolhac, or take a taxi (which you could share with others).
By plane…
I will be flying from Manchester with Ryanair’s flight FR3118 which arrives in Marseille on the Sunday 21st September 2025 at 4.20pm local time. Once there, a 6-7 seater taxi can be booked at additional costs. THIS TAXI FARE IS NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR BOOKING.
When doing research, I have found 6-7 seater taxis who would charge around 50/60 euros return (start and end of stay) per person.
For the return, I will be boarding the Ryanair flight FR3119 in Marseille at 1.20pm local time on Friday 26th September 2025 and will arrive in Manchester at 2.30 pm, local UK time.
If you want to choose this option and share a taxi with others, do let me know when booking.
You can also decide to make your own way via car or other means of transport and meet us at the Le Mas Nouveau on Sunday 21st September, late afternoon.
