14-Day Program | Students of the French language and students of the German language unite for this 14-day trip to both France and Germany.

Our unforgettable Family Stay Experience® allows students to become temporary locals and appreciate the French and German lifestyle. Students live, speak the target language, and learn about cultural exchange in a very authentic way. The adventure continues with the wonders of München und Bayern.
