Program Overview
Have you always dreamed of learning French while exploring iconic cities like Bordeaux? Want to learn a language with the added option to learn to surf? Now is your chance to experience the culture of France while perfecting your language skills with fellow students from around the world.
Arcachon (near Bordeaux) - a lesser-known area of France, but it is no less special than Paris! This coastal city is about a 1-hour drive from Bordeaux in a beautiful region. Your days will consist of morning classes, afternoon surf lessons, excursions, and time to spend in the evening with your host family. Greenheart also offers these programs without the surfing lessons!

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to all the most common questions about Greenheart Travel.
How much supervision is there?
Students are supervised and chaperoned at all times during school and the organized activities.
Permission to go out at night depends on location: Participants aged from 15 and + are allowed to go out in the evening until 21:00, those under the age of 15 are not allowed to go out.
Do I have to speak French outside of the classroom?
Language practice and immersion are the main priority of this program. While we do not require the students to sign a contract stating they will only speak in the local language, it is highly encouraged that they use their language skills when talking to friends, partaking in the daily excursions and at night in the residence hall or host family home. Program staff and chaperones primarily communicate and answer questions in the local language.
How many other students will there be and where are they from?
A majority of our students are American between 14-17 years old. However, there are students participating from around the world, so your child will have a cross-cultural setting both in the classroom and out. While the number of students does vary by start date, we like to keep small classes with no more than 15 students.
