French Speaking Canada

Overview

Quebec's French-English roots make it an exciting and unique destination for pupils to practice their French outside of Europe.

Stay in the bustling Montreal and get a real feel for Quebec's vibrant Francophone culture.  Your pupils can brush up on the local Quebecois French during private lessons at a local language school.  These lessons can be specially tailored to your students' requirements.

Travel to Quebec City, a slice of 17th-century Europe hidden within North America, and see the incredible Château Frontenac and Quebec's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site.  On the way back, stop and catch a glimpse of the gigantic Montmorency Falls (higher than Niagara Falls!).
