We begin in Nouvelle Aquitaine, in the Sth West region of France, stretching from the Gironde Estuary to the Pyrenees and the Spanish border. A region of châteaux, charming towns, vineyards and seaside resorts. Dine on Confit de canard, on fresh baguette, Pintxos Tortilla Pasatas and a desert of Canelés. Wash it down with a Bordeaux red.
In our second week we journey to Brittany, the hearty and historic peninsula to the Northwest of France where a Celtic influence remains. Enjoy Brittany’s infamous crèpes, both sweet and savoury, with a glass of cider.
Welcome to the South of France, to Occitany. Breathtaking landscapes and rich traditions with a convivial air. We try Toulouse sausage, wrapped in a delicate feuilleté with Dijon mustard and a garlic tart from Lomagne.
The Ile-de-France, home to the city of Paris, is one of the world’s classic sites of romance and culture. No visit is complete without a glass of Champagne and Madeleine’s (ala Marcel Proust) Mini Ratatouille quiches and Brie, Apple and Honey baguette round out our delicious season of French Immersion.
