Immerse yourself in a Franco-Albertan adventure!
For five unforgettable weeks, experience total immersion in French in the heart of Alberta. Staying with local families, participants will discover much more than just a language: a culture, magnificent landscapes and powerful emotions.

¿ Explore the Wild West
Hike in the majestic Rockies, observe wildlife tracks, and learn wolf capture techniques from an expert wolf and cougar specialist — here, nature speaks to you in French.

¿ Play and create outdoors
Learn how to make and throw real boomerangs in original workshops (yes, they will come back!), or let off steam with fun activities such as paintball, tennis, or table tennis

¿ Experience Franco-Albertan culture
Visit Fort Edmonton, enjoy storytelling evenings, folk dancing, and traditional music — let yourself be carried away by the stories and rhythms of the French-speaking West.

¿ Dance like never before
Rock, salsa, and much more: classes led by a professional French-speaking instructor to liven up your evenings and learn a few steps, for all levels.

¿ A rich, human and festive immersion
This program is much more than a language stay: it's a human, cultural, and joyfully French-speaking adventure!
