LINGUISTIC EXCHANGES

Summer Exchanges - UK, IRELAND, USA, FRANCE

The principle behind these exchanges is to put you in touch with a foreign family who will host your youngster for one period and send you theirs in exchange for another.

Our aim is for these exchanges to be based on a family and Christian spirit, simply sharing family life, but also Christian life through Sunday Mass and discovering a facet of local Christian life: sharing a Scout weekend, a prayer vigil, a visit to a place of pilgrimage or a beautiful church, etc...

This formula requires great flexibility in terms of dates!

The "Language Exchange" package is very popular. Consequently, we recommend that you anticipate your requests (around 6/9 months or more in advance).

Advantages :

We look for a family that suits you best, and if this family suits you, we leave the planning and practical organization of your stay to you.
The young foreigner is welcomed into your family for a few weeks and takes part in everything your child usually does.

Reception conditions :

Children aged 12 to 17
Please complete the contact form below.
Bear in mind that the exchange takes place in both directions: your child leaves and you receive his/her pen pal, in one order or the other.
Plan the activities you are going to do with him/her (welcome him/her as you would like your child to be welcomed in a foreign family).
