French language: Paris and the south of France

I absolutely loved this trip! My time in France with TFT was the highlight of my year. From Day 1, we were immediately immersed in French culture and language. During this trip we got to visit all the sights- the Champs-Elysées, the Notre Dame, and the Arc de Triumph- but our exploration of Paris went so much deeper than a casual visit. We studied French in a local school, ate lunch in little boulangeries, and rode the metro like we were a part of the city. My favorite part of our trip was during the World Cup: nothing beats sitting in a cafe surrounded by boisterous Frenchmen chanting "Allez Les Bleus!" and celebrating with us as the French won the semifinals. To show support, our trip director even wore a rooster hat for every match! She and the other counselors helped us experience more of France than I had ever seen before, It was a truly wonderful trip, and I hope to return someday!
