Live the real French experience…
French Culture & Language Immersion Programme
Personal development, language, culture, gastronomy & networking…
(For any enthusiastic Francophile, with or without experience of the French language)
We find this experience a real platform for success, which is why it has now become an important date in our yearly calendar.
“The Vici language Academy has been enriching lives through languages for the past 10 years and our immersion programmes have been an important part of it.
It’s simply wonderful to see students getting together, bonding while in a different country, experiencing a different culture and enhancing their language skills all at the same time.
They always come back full of confidence. What an amazing accomplishment for them, and our team!”
Nathalie Danon, Academy Director

Hear what others think of our residential stay:
Save Your Place
We can only take a small number on our French excursion.
We have been running residential programmes for children and adults for 7 years now and part of their success is that they are very exclusive.
Only 16 people will be invited on our 2019 trip to Jura.
Kind Words
From our students who have experienced our residential stays:
Andrew Pengelly
“I’ve just been on an excellent VICI Immersion Week in France and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The programme was skillfully constructed to be fun as well as instructive. It’s often a struggle learning a second language as an adult but this week was a big leap forward for me.
I believe there will be another trip next year and I’d strongly recommend it.”
Sally Laird
“My French is in the elementary stages and my determination to improve prompted my decision to join the Vici Academy French Immersion Trip. The course was outstandingly organised.
The trip was action packed with local attractions, gastronomic experiences and, importantly, French learning. This all constituted to a total immersion course of the highest standard. I have returned, after the week, feeling exceptionally lucky to have taken part.
Thank you, Vici Academy.”
Penny Rawle
“It was an excellent trip! The dedication, enthusiasm and planning of the team made it a totally unique learning experience… By the last day, I felt almost like a local, chatting to the shopkeeper, rather than just pointing and muttering “deux baguettes et cinq croissants, s.v.p.” as I would have done before the trip.
I would definitely recommend this immersion programme to others, it was totally what I had hoped for and it more than met my expectations.
Well done Vici.”
