Program Highlights

French and Gastronomy Tour

Guests arrive on Sunday afternoon, and after settling in, enjoy the first of many traditional French dinners prepared by our in-house chef. Dinners include wine and a cheese course. Breakfasts and lunches are served buffet style.

15 hours of French instruction with our professionally trained instructors provide students with ample opportunity to improve their language skills in a small group setting (max. 7 students per class). French conversation continues throughout the day and evening as guests speak in French at all mealtimes with the assistance and guidance of our teachers.

3 half-day excursions include:

Visit to a local vineyard for a cellar tour and tasting

Demonstration at a chocolate/pastry shop

Tours of local medieval villages and traditional markets

These activities enable students to practice their language skills in real-life situations. Itďż˝s a great way to expand vocabulary, learn about the area and interact with native French-speakers.

A gourmet lunch at Chateau de Champlong tops off a wonderful week learning about the gastronomic traditions of the Roannaise region.

Program fees include accommodations, all meals, language classes and excursions.

The accompanying group leader is accommodated free of charge.

Reference : Comments from the University Professor from Purdue University:

René Dorel's Ecole des Trois Ponts is an example of French culture at its best. What better way to appreciate the French way of life than through cooking, wine and cheese classes, complemented by regional excursions to a vineyard, oil press and chocolate maker, all the while living in a French Villa! The school offers 4-star quality treatment in an intimate and personal setting. Particularly appealing to the university student, the program is adaptable to the semester calender and to French immersion, if desired. Your students are in for one of the best experiences of their lives. Anyone wishing to discuss any aspect of this school is welcome to contact me.
