Summary

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
Every morning, we spend about 2 hours together practicing the basics of the French language. There will also be opportunities to interact with native speakers to put what you’ve learned into practice. The focus is on spoken French.

You’ll learn words you need and phrases you can use. We’ll keep the grammar to a manageable level so you can get started easily. If you already have an advanced level, we’ll explore ways to further improve your communication skills.

The afternoons are yours!
Explore the region on your own or with others, visit shops, order a French café, 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 give you useful tips and information on all these options.
Feel free to contact me now with your preferred dates and interests.

This is one of a total of 8 exciting themes for which I also offer women’s retreats. 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 in midlife the opportunity for 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, with translation always provided.

On specific dates throughout the year, I offer "Oasis Days" and women’s retreats focused on particular themes, where 2–3 women share a house in a communal living arrangement and plan their vacation together. You can find the dates on the homepage by selecting "France >>> Grand Est."

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 we can discuss together whether my program is a good fit for you. Feel free to message me here under "Contact Provider" with a suggested time.

The price listed here of 1,200 euros includes a commission for the operator of this website. So it might be worth looking into.

If two participants register together (partner, friend, sister, daughter…) and share a room, there’s a nice discount.

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

A bientôt :-)

Book

Catering

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

You have a fully equipped kitchen at your disposal, and there are small and large grocery stores within a 10- to 20-kilometer radius. You also have the option of dining at a restaurant 10 kilometers 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 is suitable for beginners as well as advanced learners. Feel free to sign up.

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 look it up on Google Maps: 52360 Celles-en-Bassigny

Traveling by train is theoretically possible, but in practice it’s likely to be 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.
