We are offering a full immersion in the French language and culture to students who wish to gain a real boost and confidence in speaking and understanding French while enjoying themselves in a beautiful setting during 7 nights / 8 days. Classes will take place in Bagnères-de-Bigorre in the Hautes-Pyrénées, with a friendly French native teacher.

Whether you’re a beginner eager to gain confidence or an advanced learner looking to refine your skills, this unique program provides the perfect balance of structured learning and cultural discovery in one of France’s most beautiful regions.
Let’s add that I am a sporty person; going out for a hiking session or a run in my beautiful Pyrenees, or having a yoga session in front of the mountains is something re-energizing and truly inspiring!
Bagneres-de-Bigorre will be the perfect place for you immersion in France! It is located in the heart of the Hautes-Pyrenees, 550m above sea level at the foot of the Pic du Midi, as well as the legendary Cols d’Aspin, and Tourmalet (Tour de France). Grand Tourmalet offers over 100km of slopes, which is the largest ski area in the French Pyrenees.

«My husband and I studied together for a week. I wish we had more time to stay 2 – 3 weeks to take advantage of the full program. Prisca was awesome. We loved her as a person as well as our teacher. She planned personalized experiences (hikes, yoga, biking, food tours, music) and found a good balance of learning and having fun. Our host family was also very welcoming and we enjoyed our daily chats with Gilles and Michele (who loves to help with homework). We strongly recommend this program and hope to return ourselves next year.»
«It was absolutely amazing and I definitely improved in french. I used to hate it as a subject but now I can definitely say learning is much more fun especially with all the kind people I had around and of course the amazing teacher:) – The village is magical and the activities super funnn!! »
«The immersion was fantastic! Prisca really catered the course to my interests. I would definitely recommend an immersion to anyone at any level. I don’t know nearly as much as I thought I needed, but I still improved during the course.
«Wow what an excellent and action-packed week of french immersion with Prisca! We had lessons each morning, where Prisca extremely patiently worked through my areas of greatest weakness (which are many). The 3 hour lesson flew by in no time – which I attribute to Prisca’s engaging manner as well as her magical ability to speak french in a way that I can understand her every word.
«Cette semaine-là était absolument parfaite! Je ne savais pas à l’avance tout ce que je faisait mais j’ai passé une super semaine avec de belles surprises!
« J’ai fait le cours d’immersion avec Prisca pendant 2 semaines à Bagnères-de-Bigorre. C’était génial! Avant d’arriver, j’étais nerveuse de parler français et j’avais oublié tout ce que j’avais appris. Après la première semaine j’avais plus de confiance mais je suis très contente que je suis restée 2 semaines. Prisca m’a enseigné plein de choses dans une courte période! Elle est patiente et énormément attentive. Je suis arrivée avec ma fille qui a un an. Prisca était accommodante avec nous deux et elle a trouvé les activités qui nous ont plu. Je voudrais recommander cette expérience à toute personne souhaitant améliorer rapidement son niveau. Merci Prisca et ta famille! »
I had the pleasure of working with Prisca for a week in Bagneres and in Lourdes. She is an accomplished teacher in French language fundamentals as well as grammar and pronunciation. While working each morning, Prisca gave my old brain a break by planning fun things to do; in the city of Bagneres I went on a historical city tour, we went up to Pic du Midi and to a fabulous food market in Lourdes to name a few field trips.😍 I loved my time with her but it was definitely not long enough!!! I will return for a longer immersion period next year!!»
«This is the place to go if you want to improve your French and really enjoy France, the course is personalised for you, Prisca is an excellent coach identifying strengths and weaknesses and the location is so special, the people of Bagnères De Bigorre are the friendliest and helpful when you speak with them.»
«Prisca’s program is a great way to advance your French skills and enjoy a beautiful lesser known part of France. Bagnères-de-Bigorre is a charming little town and it was a pleasure to spend a week there with Prisca.»
«C’était une merveilleuse expérience à Bagnère-de-Bigorre ! Prisca est une bonne prof et passionnée de son travail. J’ai vu et fait des chose que je n’ai jamais fait. C’était un séjour que je me souviendrais à toujours.»
« If you are looking for a true French language immersive experience with an amazing teacher, you have found the right program. My time with Prisca was very educational and having one to one instruction dramatically improved the rate of my progress with the French language. In addition, the school is located in a beautiful part of France. The town is charming with amazing views of the mountains.
«The strength of the program with Prisca is that she herself is a highly motivated person and infuses students with the strength needed to overcome jet lag and improve one’s French. Over the week she was able to analyze my grammar needs and to focus on improving that but at the same time put me out into the community to interact with people in the community who were super-friendly and who were patient and tried to help me improve as well. I liked the community and the chance to do hiking and yoga and spend time in a spa. It was an extremely stimulating week.»
«I spent a week as a student at Prisca’s French Immersion Program. I enjoyed every minute! Prisca is a great teacher with a lot of patience and understanding for students still learning the language. She goes above to make sure the student has not only classroom time but more importantly, an immersion experience deep in the French culture by being a part of the community. There was amble time to speak French in the classroom as a well as out in the community. I really enjoyed the activities Prisca helped choose for me. I recommend Prisca’s French Immersion Program.»
