J'ai eu l'occasion de travailler avec Edwige par le passé. C'est une excellente prof et je vous recommande son séjour d'immersion à 100%. Sa maison est parfaite si vous voulez vous ressourcer. Elle a aussi un super jardin et vous allez manger de très bons légumes frais!

Malheureusement il n’y avait qu’une semaine disponible pour ma deuxième fois à Donzac avec Edwige. Elle est enseignante formidable. Nous avons passé un très bon moment ensemble et j’espère que nous pourrons nous revoir bientôt.

I had a wonderful time staying with Edwige. Not only is she a first-class teacher but the accommodation and surrounding area were stunning. Edwige made her classes interesting and entertaining. There were always fun things to do as well as the more challenging aspects of communicating in French. Her preparation and resources were excellent.

Edwige is simply the best! My friend Janis and I met taking online french classes during covid and always dreamt of going to France for a week of private tutoring. We could never have imagined how lucky we were going to be. Edwige met every single expectation and more. She has an innate gift for teaching. She put us at ease the first day and her delightful personality shone through the whole week while simultaneously teaching us more than we thought possible.. At times we laughed so hard we were crying, we genuinely had fun. So much fun we dream again of going back. I cannot recommend Edwige more highly. Merci merci merci 🙂

Edwige is a great teacher, recognizes the problems I have with my French learning and immediately helps me overcome them. This was our second time with Edwige, the first in Donzac near Bordeaux and now in a small Breton coastal town. My wife was not taking lessons with Edwige so it was important that there were many charming villages and coastal landscapes we could explore after I had finished my morning lessons. The accomodation was again excellent.

Finally, Edwige cares. She noticed that we were trying to do too much on our final day, planning to drive to Charles De Gaulle airport in one day. She recommended we leave our rental car in Quimper, take the TGV train to CDG airport with one connection, helped make these changes and provided the necessary transport to make this happen. We are very grateful that Edwige made this extra effort to ensure our safe, relaxing return to the airport.

I cannot recommend my experience with Edwige highly enough!

Mon petit ami et moi parlons français tous les jours maintenant grâce à notre expérience d'une semaine avec Edwige !

I had not spoken French since a university course 14 years ago, and within a couple mornings Edwige not only made learning French engaging and fun, but she showed me ways that I can stay motivated and keep improving even after our language course with her.

The cottage is so lovely and has everything you need. You're surrounded by vines, trees, and their garden. You'll be in a quiet country village and you feel like you're living in an idyllic French dream. You can even see a castle on a hill across the vineyard!

She makes you feel at home as soon as you arrive. I highly recommend the dinner basket for your first night and the breakfast she curates for your first morning is generous, delicious and so so welcoming!

If you're looking for a genuine experience to learn the French language and really live and eat the French culture - Edwige's school is absolutely what you want and need. We highly recommend this experience, thank you so so much Edwige!!

What an intense, but excellent way to improve my French. I loved working on the grammar concepts and found the audio part of the course challenging. But with infinite patience, Edwige’s informal but structured method worked its magic.
I loved spending the afternoons with her mother, Marijane, visiting interesting historical sites in Bretagne. I look forward to return with a friend.

A friend and I recently enjoyed a wonderful week studying with Edwige. She seemed to know exactly what we needed, whether it was practicing our conversation skills or reviewing some thorny bits of grammar. And we loved having the afternoons to explore the area. We had a lot of fun and in the process improved our French. Highly recommend.
