La meilleure des expériences françaises: amusez-vous, plongez-vous dans la culture française et apprenez aussi la langue. C’est la promesse de Be My Guest in France, et bon sang, ils tiennent leur promesses !

 

Une maison du 18ème siecle, mais avec un confort moderne, des hôtes charmants, une cuisine basque accompagnée d’excellents vins, notre séjour chez l’habitant était 5 étoiles. 

 

 

Chaque jour, une nouvelle surprise: une abbaye romaine, des villages anciens, la côte atlantique, chacune avec ses propres légendes et histoires. 

 

 

Des découvertes culinaires variées: huîtres au bord du lac, cuisine locale traditionnelle dans une auberge à Làas, ou assis sous les platanes centenaires dans un restaurant gastronomique basque récompensé par Michelin. Et à chaque fois, la possibilité de parler français avec les serveurs. 

 

 

Bien sûr, il y avait beaucoup de cours de français avec Sarah. Elle était si bien préparée, avec un peu de grammaire mais aussi des clips vidéo pertinents pour l’excursion de la journée. J'ai pratiqué et amélioré mon français oral et écrit, ainsi que ma compréhension chaque jour.

 

 

Quand je suis rentré chez moi, ma confiance était bien plus grande et même les professeurs de mon école de français ont remarqué mes progrès. 

 

Une merveilleuse expérience que je recommande à tous ceux qui cherchent à enrichir leur parcours en français !

Forget the books for a while! Immerse yourself in both the language and the culture of France and take your study to a completely new level. BMG Immersion can offer you an amazing experience in the beauty of Pays Basque…my favourite area in France. Living like a true local will enhance not only your vocabulary but your knowledge of the culture and protocols of French life. Being welcomed in to a typically Basque home (complete with red shutters) , enjoying meals made with vegetables straight from the garden, soaking up the sun by the pool or chatting by the warmth of the fire, depending on the season, makes you feel like more than a guest…more like part of the family. Thoroughly enjoyable!

"A lovely day spent with our French teacher in Pau, immersing ourselves in French. It was a wonderful experience to be able to converse with locals, experience genuine French food and explore the culture of the French in the city of Pau."

"We were a francophone and a non French speaking couple. The immersion we did with Sarah in August was fantastic for progressing my everyday French speaking and improved my vocabulary and grammar immensely. My husband enjoyed the cultural and French way of living experiences and Sarah's parents spoke English to him which made us both very welcome and at home. I highly recommend a stay with Sarah who was a perfect hostess and a super teacher"

Meet the locals !

In 6 years of studying French, I haven’t had a better learning experience. There is really nothing like learning French in context.  In the Pays Basque this includes 101 ways to talk about the weather!

I was interested in culture and nature, so Sarah proposed a program based around visits to villages with historical and contemporary signifiance, as well as exploration of the countryside. The Pays Basque region of France is indeed very beautiful and fascinating.

Sarah is very warm, welcoming and an easy-going host. She was enthusiastic for my success, and is a passionate and highly skilled teacher. She is creative and responsive, and rapidly adapted her lessons and our activities to my strengths and weaknesses. As a result we made extra visits to sites where I could benefit from a guided tour in French and Sarah made sure I understood the jokes! The program was enriched with many unplanned visits and impromptu activities, based around my interests. These included cultural museums, a concert and even a spin through an Emmaüs centre as I was interested in the story of l’abbé Pierre.

My immersion in French language and all things Basque with Sarah was both enjoyable and enriching. It exceeded my expectations in improving my grasp of the spoken language. I recommend an immersion with Sarah in the strongest terms if you want to improve your confidence in French, immerse yourself in French culture and have fun at the same time.
