The Trip
Paris Escapades is a unique study tour running from 28 December 2023 to 28 January 2024 combining French language tuition with guided visits to specially selected locations off the tourist track. Because of your guide/teacher's in-depth knowledge of Paris, participants will explore places that few tourists ever get the chance to experience.
The Participants
Aimed at students of French (18+ or accompanied by an adult), this linguistic and cultural tour is open to anyone interested in French language and culture. With extensive experience in teaching all levels of French, from absolute beginners to more advanced, Tristan tailors his classes to suit everyone.
The Accommodation
The tour is based in the charming converted
Récollets Convent (built in 1603). Located in the heart of Paris close to Gare de l’Est and the Canal Saint-Martin, this historical residence contains furnished and serviced
studios set in leafy surroundings.
The residence comprises 80 furnished studios with living spaces ranging from 25 to 125 m2, some in duplex configuration with a mezzanine giving onto the living area.
Your Teacher
Tristan, a native French speaker, has taught French in high school and at university level for more than 18 years and is giving UWA students and Francophiles in general the opportunity to benefit from his knowledge of France’s capital city.
