Situated in the beautiful south of France, Aix-en-Provence is one of the most beautiful locations in France. This wonderful city boasts a rich cultural heritage, world-beating cuisine and gorgeous rustic surroundings—which makes it the perfect location for our October 2025 Immersion Special Guest Programme.
The experience offers participants the opportunity to live the language—to not only learn and practise French but to make it a part of your lifestyle while enjoying the best that Aix-en-Provence has to offer. Over the course of five days, guests will take part in expert-led morning classes followed by afternoon excursions, including wine tasting, a local tour and walks through the stunning countryside. As you explore the vibrant markets and quaint cafes of Aix-en-Provence, you’ll be immersed in the local culture and have the chance to put your new language skills into practice—speaking with locals, fellow learners, and of course, Alexa herself.
