French Gateway

Autumn 2014

Please join us in Paris for a French Getaway!

Only six available spaces

Would you like to learn to incorporate Parisian “je ne sais quoi” into your own life? And maybe you'd like blend in while in France, rather than sticking out like many tourists

do. Traveling in Paris w/out speaking the language can make for a difficult and frustrating experience! So... spend a week with us learning to live à la française and you'll be sure to connect with France (and “zee” French) on a different level. You'll feel more Parisian than ever. Oh là là!!!
