French Immersion Program
Live in a French-speaking country and speak the French language every day.
Give your child an enriching experience through our unique educational tour to France for 10 days. Learn conversational French, stay with host families, visit beautiful monuments and immerse into its culture.

Visits & Excursions
This program is designed to give the students a great opportunity to visit world-famous monuments, museums, tourist destinations, amusement parks, river cruises and other sights to pack their days with great fun and excitement.
This also helps to build closer bonds with their classmates, experience new environments and enjoy a balanced exposure to the city and its culture.
Stay with Host Family
You’ll be staying with a host family in the suburbs of Paris.
These families are experienced in hosting students from the world over. Our local coordinator carefully selects the host families, and are chosen after an interview and a home visit based on specific selection criteria.
The family drives the students to school every morning and picks them up in the evening after cultural activities. You will be given a room that will be shared with another student(s) from your group.
Home-staying will provide safe learning environments to try out new words or practise the local language. You can get the necessary phrases translated by your host parents, practice writing keywords with your host siblings, and try out communicating in the new language with toddlers or young children in the comfort of your new home. They usually won’t be afraid to correct you, will always support you in trying to expand your abilities, and you may bond through the language learning process. Sometimes host families don’t speak your language fluently, providing and encouraging even more opportunities to improve language skills.
Be attentive to the house rules and culture followed by the hosts, as this will help you engage with them in a friendly way and make your stay enjoyable. Share your daily experiences with them to practice your conversational skills.
Boarding
The Host families will provide breakfast and dinner, whereas lunch will be either a packed lunch or arranged at a restaurant. Make sure to mention any special dietary requirements to your host family on the first day of your arrival.
Remember, foods abroad might be different than what you’re used to, so use this opportunity to experience authentic French cuisine.
French Course
French classes take place in a local school. It is a closed group session. Native french teachers are specialised in teaching French as a foreign language. They make use of dynamic, interactive teaching methods.
Students receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course.

SEASONS IN PARIS
Each season in Paris brings out a different side of the city’s personality. In Spring, Summer, Winter or Fall, Bold, beautiful and in bloom, Paris puts on a lush and colorful display for visitors in the spring and summer months. Eventually the warm weather gives way to the cool crisp air and crunchy leaves of autumn, a time when Paris absolutely glows with photogenic hues of yellow, orange and red. In the winter, the city shows off its festive holiday spirit alongside cooler temperatures and wet weather. Whatever the weather, we have the best ideas to shelter you from the rain or help you maximise those days full of sunshine.
Spring (March - May)
A popular time of the year to visit the French capital, spring in Paris starts out chilly with daily highs of around 54°F (12°C) in March. By May the weather warms up to a very pleasant 68°F (20°C) - perfect for spending the day exploring the city’s beautiful gardens and parks.
Nights remain pretty cold throughout the season and don’t be surprised by light showers. Always carry a lightweight jacket with a zip on hood just in case.
Summer (June - August)
This is the height of tourist season in Paris, and it is accompanied by matching high temperatures. Expect daily highs of at least 83°F (25°C), accompanied by brisk nights of around 55°F (13°C). As luck would have it, this the driest part of the year - sunglasses are an absolute must! While these temperatures may not seem very high to some, keep in mind that humidity can make Paris feel warmer. When you’re out and about on a sunny summer day in the French capital, be sure to keep a water bottle with you to stay hydrated.
Autumn (September - December)
With locals back from their summer holidays and thinner tourist crowds, there’s a great buzz around Paris in autumn. Temperatures cool down quite a bit beginning in October, but if you’ve packed a jacket, autumn is the perfect time to enjoy long walks through stunning neighborhoods and a stroll along the Seine River. Be prepared for the occasional chilly rain shower and bit of wind. Daily highs range anywhere from 46°F (8°C) to 62°F (17°C), so pack accordingly!
Winter (January - February)
Despite shorter days and decidedly wetter weather, winter is truly a special time of year in Paris. Staying true to its City of Light moniker, the French capital sparkles under the glow of festive holiday lights.
Enhanced by the occasional dusting of snow, visiting Paris in winter can be a magical experience. Expect daily highs of 46°F (8°C) and night time temperatures near freezing. Our advice to stay warm and take advantage of the winter sales in the cosy boutiques and shopping malls.

Great work Bijal ma'am. Its a pleasure to share with all - this wonderful trip in Paris that my daughter enjoyed with Indo French Hub in May, especially with Bijal ma'am who is such an encouraging n assuring person and is highly capable of handling all the children and arranging such memorable and fabulous trips. She is a responsible coordinator with clearing and solving all our doubts and queries regarding the trip and other formalities patiently and continued to be a full support when our kids were away with her. It was a very satisfying and fulfilling experience for us as parents to rely on and trust her and the other teachers to give our kids the most wonderful, lovely and memorable days spent in Paris. They just loved exploring the city with all an enthusiastic group. Looking forward to more such programs for my daughter. And all the best for your future programs
