PRINTEMPS IN PROVENCE

This is a tour that we designed for an international school in Surrey.  It combines excellent sightseeing with a chance to spend time in a French school, practicing the language and making new friends.  The French students are planning to make a return visit to stay with their English friends this autumn.
