French Rendez-Vous Tours (FR-VT) is a small organisation run by a dedicated team of people.
We offer two-month cultural exchange programs to France, Germany and Switzerland each year
between 29th November-18th January. Experienced co-ordinators accompany the group and travel with them for the duration of the program for support and encouragement to help the participants achieve maximum results.

Our exchange students learn first hand the culture and lifestyle of their desired country by living in a
host family as an active member of the family and community. As we are a small organisation, we care about the participant's expectations and understand the needs of each individual.

We strive to provide outstanding qualities and performance in our programs to meet and exceed our participants' expectations. This is achieved through world class service, honesty and integrity, safety, and focusing on requirement for both the participant and host family, and representing French Rendez-Vous Tours in a positive and professional manner at all times. French Rendez-Vous Tours concentrate exclusively on France Germany and Switzerland for Two-Month Cultural Exchange Programs based in the Champagne region.

Past Experience: Since 1988 I have been involved with cultural exchange programs being a host parent for exchange students each year. I have been a coordinator in France for two-month programs with Australian secondary school students participating. I have taken groups of teenagers to Austria , Belgium , Denmark , Finland , France, Germany , Italy , Malaysia (KL) , Netherlands , Norway , Philippines ( Manila & Cebu ) , Greece, Singapore , Spain , Sweden and Switzerland. Since 1989, I have worked as a co-ordinator and Victorian State Coordinator for two organisations and also for three years as President of an Student Exchange Organisation world wide before commencing French Rendez-Vous Tours.

Acknowledgments: In recognition to all our Australian and overseas coordinators and host families for their assistance, enthusiasm and continual support. Without them, French Rendez-Vous Tours would not have been possible.
I would also like to acknowledge and thank my Mum, the late Madame Violette L. Dupuis.
