The French phrase "séjour linguistique" describes a stay abroad for the purpose of enhancing your language skills. Le Passe-Partout offers a private and individual opportunity to become familiar with the French language, all in a comfortable and congenial environment. Dining, shopping, sports activities, asking directions, even that book of French cuisine that seems a bit intimidating: all can come easier with practice and help. We offer courses which can be oriented specifically to your area of interest. Get comfortable with those unfamiliar terms. Open new horizons to explore. Give yourself the ability to be at ease dining or travelling off the beaten tracks.

Enjoy useful and enlightening discussions.

Learn French in comfort:

in the mornings, 'follow the prof';

after lunch, 'follow the guide'.

Start at your level: beginner, intermediate, advanced.

Assistance in English to learn the new language or total French immersion is available for the experienced traveller.

Progress at your own rate.

Study the subject areas that really interest you.

Focus on special needs, for example: prepare for that conference in Paris, or Montreal, that driving vacation through the South of France, or that ski trip to the French Alps.
