Description
This course combines the perfect blend of French language immersion and Creole cultural exploration to create an unforgettable experience. Guadeloupe is a slice of France nestled in the heart of the Caribbean's French West Indies. The result is a unique fusion of French and Creole influences, with charming towns, delicious food and an easygoing pace of life. A French Overseas Department, Guadeloupe provides a great alternative location for language studies. You won't hear English spoken here, so prepare for complete immersion in the French language on an amazing island adventure! Home stay in the picturesque seaside town of St. Anne. Hike rugged volcanic peaks and dense rainforests. Try your hand at surfing, sea kayaking and soaring through the forest on a zip-line. Shop in colorful markets and volunteer on a variety of service projects. Then sail to nearby Marie-Galante and/or Ile des Saintes to discover more of this quintessential French island paradise.
