Summary

Book now for 2027! Would you like to experience French culture and language in everyday life? Here you can practice your communication skills in everyday situations and expand your vocabulary in a fun way. You’ll also enjoy a wonderful, varied vacation and meet friendly people.

Daily language training (from A0 to B2)
Every morning, we’ll spend about 2 hours together practicing the basics of the French language. There will also be practical opportunities to practice what you’ve learned with native speakers. The focus is on spoken French.

You’ll learn the words you need and the phrases you can use. We’ll keep the grammar to a manageable level so you can get started easily. If you’re already at an advanced level, we’ll explore ways to further improve your communication skills, expand your vocabulary, and practice speaking freely, presenting arguments, and actively participating.

The afternoons are yours!
Explore the region on your own or with others, visit shops, order a French coffee, and discover the countryside, culture, and the four lakes in our area. And maybe you’ll even take a day trip to Dijon, the capital of Burgundy?

I’ll provide you with useful tips and information on all these options.
Feel free to contact me now with your preferred dates and interests. I’d also be happy to send you information about the wide range of leisure activities in the area.

My name is Susanne Hoffmann, and my project is called Chrysalide. I live and work in 52360 Celles-en-Bassigny, a small village in the Haute-Marne department. Here, I offer women traveling alone, groups of friends, and couples the opportunity to enjoy an inspiring and relaxing vacation in the French countryside.
The main language during the week is German, though depending on the topic and activity, there will of course also be French moments, and translation will always be provided.


Please also take advantage of the opportunity for a free introductory chat via video call (WhatsApp, Teams, or Zoom). During this call, I can answer your questions, and together we’ll see if my offer is a good fit for you. Feel free to message me here under “Contact Provider” with a suggested time.


The price listed applies to 2 people and an entire house for your exclusive use (no other guests). The price includes a commission for the operator of this website.

Different rates apply for solo travelers. Please feel free to contact me about this.


By the way, on specific dates throughout the year, I offer women’s retreats on certain topics, where 2–3 women share a house as roommates and plan their vacation together. You can find the dates for these on the homepage by selecting “France >>> ‘Grand Est’.”


Well, now I’m looking forward to meeting you all—or you—soon!

See you soon :-)

Catering

Meals are not included; you’ll be responsible for your own meals. Therefore, you decide for yourself what’s best for you.

You’ll have a fully equipped kitchen at your disposal, and there are small and large grocery stores within a 10- to 20-km radius. You also have the option of dining at a restaurant 10 km away or picking up meals there (starting at 15 euros for a three-course meal).

sequence

We work on vocabulary, grammar, and conversation every day. The focus is on spoken language, not written expression. This week-long program is just as suitable for beginners (A0/A1) as it is for advanced learners (A2–B2). Feel free to contact us.

Arrival

The easiest way to get there is by car—just 3.5 hours from Saarbrücken and Freiburg, 5 hours from Cologne and Frankfurt, and 7 hours from Dortmund and Munich. Just check Google Maps: 52360 Celles-en-Bassigny

Traveling by train is theoretically possible, but in practice it’s probably rather complicated. The nearest train station is Culmont / Chalindrey. However, there’s a well-established ride-sharing service (Blablacar) within France that works really well!

Since we’re a family-run business, we ask for your understanding that we do not offer any transportation services.
