Your French immersion homestay in France will stay in the South of France, in Nîmes, a city located next to Le Pont du gard, between the cities Montpellier and Avignon, and between the regions of Provence and Mediterranean Sea. During your stay, you will discover the beauty of South France and all the picturesque small quaint villages that comprise the scenic region of Provence. The goal of this program is to attach meaning and feelings to the French language, which can only be achieved through the understanding of France’s cultural, architectural and culinary heritage.

The heritage of Nîmes is absolutely remarkable, and unlike many French towns, it is one based on Roman origin. Nîmes is full of ancient roman structures and remains which are in exceptional condition, such as the l’Arena (1st Century), la Maison Carrée (1st Century UNESCO World Heritage site), la cathédrale (15th Century), le jardin de la fontaine (18th Century) or Musée de la Romanité.
