Meet your host family: Catherine in France

Welcome to Catherine's, Célia's, Java's, and Taïga's place.

We are a Franco-Swiss family living in Provence for five years. Célia, my 15-year-old daughter, is attending high school in Apt, a small town 10 km from our home. She loves mangas, anime, and everything from Japan, and she will be very happy to share this passion with you! I work in real estate from home, but I have flexible hours and would be delighted to show you around our little corner of Provence. We live near beautiful villages such as Gordes and Roussillon, and I love to stroll around the area with our dog, Java. I have taught French to employees of the WHO in Geneva for several years, and I would be happy to help you improve in our beautiful language through conversations based on films, books, or more academic exercises.

Your French immersion experience :
A typical day with us

During your stay, we will establish together a program based on your desires. I suggest walks on foot or by bike to discover the region and visits to Provençal villages like Gordes, Roussillon, or Bonnieux. We can also go meet my neighbors and friends which will be a good exercise for your French, people from the south enjoy talking and asking you lots of questions! We can also go to the local markets and flea markets. And if you know how to cook, you can teach me a few recipes, I'm not an expert in this field and I cook simple things, we like vegetarian, Italian, and Asian dishes. But we eat everything and we will adapt to your culinary tastes! We can watch French films on Netflix and discuss them afterwards. If you're interested, Celia can introduce you to Japanese anime. And we can play board games together. Looking forward to welcoming you to our home!

Hemos enviado a nuestra hija adolescente a casa de Catherine y de Celia dos semanas. He de decir que ha sido la mejor decisión que hemos podido tomar. No hubiéramos podido elegir una familia mejor para esta circunstancia. Catherine ha estado en todo momento pendiente de ella. Ha comido fantásticamente bien y muy sano, la casa es una monada con un jardín precioso, el entorno ideal con sus campos de lavanda y sus viñedos. Celia la ha integrado perfectamente en su círculo de amigas. Catherine le da impartido clases de francés en casa muy motivadoras y amenas, ¡hasta se le hacía corto, nos decía! Ha hecho visitas turísticas, conocido a los amigos y familiares. La comunicación entre nosotros y Catherine ha sido fluida y muy fácil. Para nosotros ha sido una experiencia perfecta, y un bálsamo de tranquilidad, que es lo que buscábamos cuando se trata de nuestros hijos adolescentes. Quedamos en deuda perpetua con esta familia. Esperamos no perder el contacto. Recomendamos la estancia en esta familia si buscas un entorno tranquilo y encantador.

Je suis resté pendant environ 4 jours. Catherine et sa famille sont très amicales et gentilles. Catherine a adapté sa conversation à mon niveau linguistique. Il y a eu également des échanges culturels, et j'ai le sentiment d'avoir vécu une très bonne expérience qui a augmenté ma motivation pour l'apprentissage des langues. Je pense que c'est un environnement idéal pour améliorer son niveau linguistique et accroître sa motivation.Je le recommande.

Catherine fue una magnifica anfitriona, me ha hecho sentir en casa y ha hecho su mejor esfuerzo para que mi tiempo fuera agradable y cálido. La conversación en francés fue constante y me corregía cada vez que cometía un error oral, lo que le agradezco mucho pues considero que mi nivel de Francés ha mejorado gracias a este tiempo con ella, Célia, Java y Taiga! Así mismo, el lugar donde vive es encantador, rodeado de una naturaleza preciosa con una gran energía verde y positiva. Los amigos y vecinos, encantadores y nuestras caminatas fueron lo mejor, ya que exploramos alrededores mientras conversábamos. En fin, terminamos siendo buenas amigas y espero nunca perder el contacto con esta encantadora familia! MERCI BEAUCOUP CATHERINE!
