'Learn Français'

Wendy Blakeman • 11 May 2019

For all the family with a native French speaker

Do you want to improve your French ? Would you like your children to be exposed to a new language ? What better way to learn some new words than with a native French speaker in a fun and relaxing setting whilst on holiday in France !!

Anne is a professional teacher of the French language with years of experience . She lives locally and speaks excellent English too. She is offering an hour (or even two) of playing board games with your children or with the whole family together. These games have been especially chosen for their linguistic value and will help improve your French or get your little ones learning new words quickly and in a fun environment.


Anne is offering a 1 hour session for up to 3 people at just 10€ plus 2€ per extra person (over 3 yrs)

Under 5 yrs the child must be accompanied by an adult but from 5yrs and over Anne is happy to play games and 'teach' the children new French words through play (max 6 children without parental supervision)

This activity would take place on the activity table or, if it's a family, in the privacy of your cottage or on your terrace.

A 2 hour session is available for families at 15€.

For availability and to book this fun learning activity just contact us or Anne direct (details in the cottage)
