We fly from Athens to Nice where we will take a train trip along the beautiful south coast of France arriving in Montpellier and spending the night. The following morning we go to Paris for our Adventure Program.

On completion of the seven day Adventure program, we meet with the Host Families and the French Coordinator in and around Tours where we will be based for six weeks. On the third day of our arrival there, we have our orientation day where we will go through the schedule planned and we ask questions.

French schooling (optional) has already been organised.

Once every ten days the group meet at one of the family's home and go through any difficulties one might be experiencing e.g. cultural differences.
For the last week we are offering an optional seven day Adventure Program in Bern, Switzerland where participants will have the opportunity to visit the historical sights around the region.
For approximately ten days the student may go away with their Host Family for their Christmas trip.

The 7 Day Adventure Program for this year will be held in Paris with accommodation and light breakfast supplied. We will also be visiting Montmartre Hill, from where you will see the most spectacular view of all Paris. Montmartre is one of the most popular tourist attractions. It is famous for the artists who came together and lived and worked in this area - such as Van Gogh, Picasso, Mustaf Shaq and also theatrical artists.

A great souvenir of your stay here would be a portrait of yourself drawn or painted by one of the many Artists - costing around 150 francs. Enjoy a cafe au lait in the sidewalk cafes while listening to a street performer sing a well known Edith Piaf song.
The atmosphere is lovable, the Artists are amazing and the food is hard to forget!
