Excursions

Practice Your French While Exploring Southern France

At ILA French Language School, learning French goes far beyond the classroom! Our carefully curated excursions are the perfect opportunity to put your language skills into practice while discovering the cultural and natural wonders of Southern France.

Each trip offers a chance to immerse yourself in real-life French, whether you’re chatting with locals, reading signs and menus, or following along during guided visits. From world-famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Avignon, Pont du Gard, and Carcassonne, to charming villages like Uzès and Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, every destination becomes a living classroom.

You’ll walk the streets of Nîmes and Arles, rich in Roman history, or stroll through the colorful markets of Sète and Aigues-Mortes, engaging in authentic French conversations. Whether exploring the Camargue’s wild nature, admiring the Viaduc de Millau, or tasting cheese in Roquefort, you’ll naturally absorb vocabulary, expressions, and cultural references.

Our excursions also help build confidence in speaking. You’ll interact with fellow students and guides in French, helping you reinforce what you’ve learned in your lessons — and have fun doing it! These experiences provide meaningful, memorable contexts for language acquisition and make learning both enjoyable and effective.

And of course, every trip is designed to be sociable and relaxed. You’ll share these moments with new friends from around the world, making memories that connect language, culture, and community.

Learning French has never been so exciting. Join us, speak more, discover more – and live the language!
