    Hi all, I'm looking to go over to France for about a month (May's the only month I can really do) this year, and was just wondering if anyone had any links to sites they found useful or organisatins they went with? Thanks!

    I'll ask the French teacher in our school who's in charge of all the exchanges if she knows of anything on Monday.

    You could wait 3 years and come work in a French campsite with me ;)

    You might be a little late applying, I'm not sure.

    Ask your school first of all anyway, your teacher'll know some stuff.

    3 organisations-
    _ Apprendre et Vivre:

    anne@apprendreetvivre.com

    www.apprendreetvivre.com

    _ E.I.L. Intercultural Learning:

    info@eilireland.org

    www.eilireland.org

    _ ARAM

    acceuil@aram-france.com


    Sorry, I don't have a website for the last one, but they're the people I went with, and they're a really good organisation.

    Are you looking to board or stay with a host family? I'd recommend boarding (everyone I know who had a host family [including myself :)] didn't *really* enjoy it), but it's up to you.

    Actually I was thinking of doing that some summer, it'd be a great summer job!

    Sharon thanks for the links there, I'll look into them :)

    EF international languages courses. I was hoping to do one but my parents were reluctant so I can't. It's expensive but you get freedom if you do it as it's aimed at adults really.

    Ask for a brochure.

    Good luck!

    Hopefully in the Summer of fifth to sixth year I'm going to au pair in France.
