I have gathered some information for you about the French language
immersion holiday in a monastery, as mentioned above.
"CREA-LANGUES
In 'le Monastère de Ségriès', a former monastery, impressively
situated among forests and lavender fields, courses are being given
from April 5th till April 10th and from June till September. Total
immersion in the language, as from one week, with a choice for
afternoon activities or extra lessons, or business French. In the
weekends 'plus-modules' (Provence on foot, Provence on bike, canyoning
and festival d´Avignon). One week courses are not possible in July and
August. Accommodation intern in a hospitable atmosphere and an
excellent Provençale kitchen. The average age is over 30. Many travel
together from Brussels."

A TOTAL IMMERSION IN THE FRENCH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE
Since 1984, CREA-Langues has helped hundreds of people perfect their
communication skills. It is not necessary to have a faultless
knowledge of the language from the outstart; what is more important is
that you are keen to improve your knowledge and wish to achieve
fluency in speaking French, to express yourself more clearly and
accurately. Our unique language training programme will give you the
motivation and confidence, based on a concept involving a total
immersion in the French culture and language, to achieve this goal.
With intimate groups and top teachers, in a magnificent and inspiring
setting, you will be speaking French throughout the day, each day,

picked up from school, evening classes or self-learning, CREA-Langues
is an ideal solution to solve this problem. With your professional
instructors constantly at hand intensive 12 hour days will be filled
with structured but informal teaching, including round the table
discussions and outside classes. Meals with your teachers, excursions
to visit local craftsmen and enterprises will give you the opportunity
