If you want to learn French, to speak it like a local and understand it fully, the best way to study is undoubtedly by immersion. It’s also great fun and when you’re able to fully immerse yourself in the culture and essence of France at the same time – it really does help make learning easier.

The best French Language Immersion course

Beautiful castle with a tower and floral gardens in Burgundy

For most of us, learning from classes, books and online works well. But for all us, to really appreciate and understand the nuances of real French, the best way is to learn is by experience.

By getting to know and chat to the locals, enjoying the legendary French cuisine and wines and experiencing the traditions and customs of France – well, nothing beats a fabulous immersion course to make learning so much more fun.

There’s a lot of choice but we love LaPont’s French Immersion Programs for many reasons including the great teachers and small classes. The teachers are friendly, highly experienced with international expertise and savoir-faire. They’re on hand all day from morning to evening to assist you with your French during all outings meals and cultural activities.

Lapont French Immersion Tours are created by Catherine Alapont, an acclaimed multi-linguist with a passion for the language as well as French culture. She and her French team make guests feel like friends, with whom they share their local knowledge and understanding of France. With this immersion course you’ll not only learn French, you’ll get the tour of a lifetime.

What this immersion course in Burgundy involves

People in a vineyard learning about the vines and the wines in Burgundy

You’ll meet your hosts in lovely Lyon in the south of France before being transported to your new home – a 17th century chateau where your French Immersion adventure takes place. Whatever your skills, whether you’re a beginner, want to practice speaking French or need to brush up on your pronunciation, you’ll find there’s a class that’s just right for you. The teachers are friendly, highly experienced and qualified.

The tour group is kept small, so that there’s time for you to see and do what you want and really get to know “La France Profonde”. Small class sizes, mean the teacher has time for you, making sure your French comes on leaps and bounds. Your fellow guests are as passionate about France, and as enthusiastic about learning, as you..

At the end of this immersion course, your French will have improved and so will your knowledge of France because you won’t be staying in a classroom all day. You’ll be exploring the hidden gems of Burgundy, Franche-Comté and the Rhône-Alpes. Included in the tour are visits to private châteaux, local artisans’ markets and vineyards and a whole lot more.

Charming accommodation and authentic immersion
