Discovering Provençal gastronomy
Take part in restaurant outings to practise ordering and navigating French cuisine. These outings are designed to build your vocabulary and familiarise you with local culinary habits, helping you feel at ease in professional or personal dining situations.
Exploring Provençal villages
Enjoy guided visits to typical villages in Provence. These excursions will give you an insight into life in Provence and help you better understand its people and traditions. You can for example combine these walks with museum visits.
Museum visits
Dive into Provençal history and craftsmanship by visiting key museums with your trainer. Discover the MuCEM in Marseille, for example, which holds a rich collection on the civilisations of Europe and the Mediterranean. You can also visit a traditional soap factory and learn the secrets behind the making of the famous Marseille soap. These visits will serve as a basis for classroom discussions and exercises, helping you integrate cultural knowledge into your language learning.
Provençal Market Experience
Nothing beats a Provençal market for immersing yourself in the local language and culture. Local produce, exchanges with vendors, typical expressions — these outings are the ideal opportunity to practise French in an authentic and convivial setting.
City tour of Marseille and Aix-en-Provence
Discover Marseille and Aix-en-Provence with your trainer. These guided visits will allow you to explore iconic neighbourhoods, understand the history and identity of these two cities with their very distinct characters, while practising French in a lively and stimulating setting.
Vineyard visits
Meet the winemakers of the region and discover the wines of Provence, their history and their distinctive characteristics. These visits will allow you to enrich your vocabulary around gastronomy and local produce, while familiarising yourself with an important aspect of Provençal culture and art de vivre.
