Q. What is special about the Agen retreat?
  • The retreat group is intentionally mixed, offering you the ability to really get to know your French counterparts who are learning English (and vice versa). 
  • Unlike many other language or yoga retreats, you won't be in an American bubble, speaking French only in restaurants or shops when you're not in class. 
  • Your language classes will be taught by internationally known language teachers offering fun, effective classes in an intimate setting... without grammar exercises or homework. 
  • The bilingual yoga will be taught by expert yoga teachers (& is appropriate for all levels).
  • You'll have access to massage offered by a professional massage therapist!
