Experience a total French immersion in the Lot, in the heart of Occitanie. Speak French all day, practice in real-life situations, and turn your stay into an unforgettable linguistic and cultural experience in one of the most beautiful regions of France.

A French immersion in south-west France offers you the unique opportunity to speak French from morning to night. You’ll be surrounded by the language — hearing it, speaking it, and using it naturally in a wide range of authentic situations: during lessons, over meals, and while exploring the region’s charming villages, markets, and landscapes.

This continuous exposure helps you internalize the language, gain confidence, and anchor what you learn deeply in your memory.

In the Lot, a picturesque region of southwest France known for its medieval villages, exceptional cuisine, and peaceful countryside, you will enjoy an authentic, personal, and rewarding immersion experience. Each day offers new opportunities to live your French — speaking, listening, and connecting with the rich local culture.

Make your learning experience unforgettable: Come and Live Your French in the Lot!

We will practise every day for effective and longer-lasting results.

Your expectations and needs will be my priority including conversation in French, targeted grammatical and lexical French. I can also help with specific requirements such as preparation for official exams (DELF, DALF, TCF...), all in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Our active conversations in French will continue as we explore the region and its heritage

Nicole will be your tour guide during your French immersion

Nicole is Canadian, originally from Vancouver. She has been living in France for six years. She learned and improved her French through immersion in the country and through several intensive programmes such as the one we are offering today.

With her extensive knowledge of the region, she will be your guide during your stay at Mas Sarrat.

She will offer you the chance to explore Cahors, where you’ll wander through the vibrant market, discovering regional specialties and the warm atmosphere of this historic town. On another day, a visit to the Zadkine Museum will provide a peaceful cultural break, a place where the sculptor’s work blends harmoniously with the surrounding nature. Finally, in the charming villages of Albas or Puy-L’Évêque, you’ll explore picturesque streets, enjoy stunning river views, and experience the authentic character of the Cahors vineyards.
