French Junior Programme and Sports
The CAVILAM – Alliance Française French Junior Programme and Sports offers young people aged 11 to 15 the opportunity to experience full immersion in French in an international, sporty and safe environment. Participants are supervised 24/7 by qualified supervisors, allowing them to make the most of their stay.
Over the course of two weeks, mornings are dedicated to French lessons in small groups, helping participants improve their language skills, build confidence and develop greater ease in speaking. Afternoons are devoted to sports and leisure activities, including canoeing, climbing, tennis, golf, swimming, hiking, team sports and themed evenings.
This programme is designed in collaboration with Artémis, an organisation officially registered with the relevant French authorities and specialising in sports, cultural and language stays, as well as group accommodation and activities for minors.
