Summary

LANGUAGE STAYS, INTENSIVE COURSES WITH COMPLETE IMMERSION IN THE FRENCH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE. A range of courses tailored to your needs, an efficient course offering based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, with Catie, a qualified and experienced teacher who is a native speaker.
Example of a typical Breton-style daily schedule: The course begins at 9:00 a.m. either in the classroom or, in summer, in the hydrangea garden. 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. / 10:45 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
The four lessons with a short break fly by. Around noon, it's time for free time! The area is a real treasure trove for nature and sea lovers as well as those interested in culture!
If you want to test and expand your newly acquired language skills, you should seek out contact with the Bretons, whether in the numerous shops in Quintin, at the bakery, or while eating at one of the restaurants or pub terraces around the corner. Quintin and the surrounding area offer plenty of culinary variety! Catie speaks German.

6 nights (20 lessons/week). Your accommodation is located on the ground floor and has its own entrance on the street side, as well as direct access to the garden via a private 7m² terrace. It is 35m² in size and is suitable for one or two people. It is equipped with a bedroom with carpeted floors, a double bed (2x90x200 cm) with an adjoining separate toilet; a living room with two leather armchairs, a table, satellite TV, and a mini-fridge, as well as a kettle and a selection of tea and coffee, a CD player, and a radio. Free Wi-Fi, coffee machine; a bathroom with a large walk-in Italian shower, recessed sink and toilet, as well as a towel dryer and hairdryer; a private wooden terrace (with garden furniture and electric grill) leading to a typical Breton garden of 400 m². Secure bicycle garage.

Catering

The accommodation without a kitchen is intended for self-caterers, apart from breakfast, which is included in the price. However, you can also organize your own breakfast (and then deduct €8/person/night), as you will find a bakery, numerous pubs and restaurants, crêperies, cafés, pizzerias, Turkish snack bars, organic shops, delicatessens, and even a great mini-supermarket on the town hall square in the city center, just a few steps away from your accommodation!
There is a large weekly market on Tuesday mornings and a small but excellent organic market on Saturday mornings. Quintin also has three supermarkets (Super U, Leclerc, and Lidl) within a kilometer's walk of your accommodation.
You can enjoy breakfast on your private terrace or in your living room. Except for bread and pastries, we provide everything you need for a sumptuous Breton breakfast. Your refrigerator will be stocked for your stay. You can pick up fresh bread and French/Breton delicacies according to your preferences at two excellent bakeries—less than 400 meters away on foot!
