High School Study Abroad in Toulouse, France

Accelerate your French with four weeks of language immersion in this student-friendly city in southern France. After language classes, dive into French conversations out in community markets, cafes, funky shops, chic boutiques, and the liveliest square in town—Place du Capitole. Plus, enjoy cultural activities such as playing traditional music at the Centre Occitan, opportunities to talk with French teens, and visits to significant sites such as the historic Jacobins monastery, the modern Airbus headquarters, or the Hall of Machines with its mechanical wonders, including a giant dancing spider! Living in a local homestay puts you in tune with the customs and rhythms of everyday life, and it grows your language and cultural competence in countless ways. Weekend excursions take you to Carcassonne, a World Heritage site and medieval fortress, and to the Domaine du Thoré, an eco-lodge where you will hike and explore the beautiful French countryside. Rich experiences in and out of Toulouse will steep you in culture—food, art, architecture, natural beauty, and thousands of years of French and Roman history.

At Oui-Connect, we specialize in short-term homestay immersion programs that offer American teenagers the opportunity to experience life in Spain and France. Designed for participants aged 13 to 17, our programs run from June to August and last between two to four weeks. During this time, students live with volunteer host families, fully immersing themselves in the culture and language for a truly transformative experience. Through 100% immersion, participants not only enhance their language skills but also build meaningful connections and gain a deeper understanding of daily life abroad. From the moment you register to the end of the program, our team is dedicated to providing personalized support and ensuring a seamless, enriching journey for both students and their families.
