With Aurélie
Aurélie travels with you for the whole trip.
“So many of you have asked me to travel together in France. That’s why I created this trip: to learn French by living it, at the market, around the table and in little villages, while discovering French culture. No classroom, just everyday life, together.”
Aurélie

The FAQ
The trip is designed for intermediate to advanced learners (B1 – B2). If you can hold a simple conversation, you’re ready: the rest you’ll practise on the spot.
That’s exactly the point. The group is there to improve together, and Aurélie is used to helping learners. You speak at your own pace, with no pressure.
Not at all, most participants come on their own! In a shared room, we pair you with a participant of the same sex. You can also choose a single room.
No, you book your own travel to Nice. Do not buy your ticket before you have received our written confirmation of the trip: a ticket bought too early cannot be refunded. For reference: arrive on 8 March 2027 before the welcome dinner, leave on 13 March 2027.
By 7 January 2027 at the latest. You’ll get an email reminder with the payment link.
From 6 participants, by 15 January 2027 at the latest. If the trip is not confirmed by then, everything you have paid is refunded. Wait for that written confirmation before booking your flight: we cannot cover a ticket bought before it.
Cancellation and assistance insurance is strongly recommended, taken out when you book. Message us on WhatsApp: we can offer you a suitable plan.
A package holiday carries no right of withdrawal. Once the trip is confirmed, the deposit is non-refundable, and cancellation fees apply depending on when you cancel: the closer to departure, the higher they are, up to the full price of the trip. This is exactly what cancellation insurance covers. Full details in the terms and conditions.
That’s your responsibility: check the entry requirements for France for your nationality. We’ll send you a checklist after you book.
Aurélie can’t wait and plans to be there from start to finish. If something unexpected happened, the trip goes ahead with a team guide: the programme and services stay the same.
