Nestled in the heart of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Regional Nature Park, Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse embodies the understated charm of Paris’s inner suburbs. Straddling the Yvette River and bordered by state-owned forests, this village offers a peaceful, inspiring setting. Cobblestone streets and meulière stone houses sit alongside artisanal bakeries, gourmet grocers and intimate cafés, while the weekly market and artisan workshops bring local life to the fore.
Just 35 minutes from Paris on the RER B line, Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse combines rural tranquility with urban accessibility. Over 200 km of marked trails invite hiking, mountain biking and scenic walks to the medieval Château de la Madeleine or the Vaux-de-Cernay Abbey. A library, cultural center, sports facilities and a vibrant community life complete the local offerings, creating an environment rich in discovery and well connected to the capital.
My name is Georgiana, your French tutor, language buddy & host In France. I live in Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse, in the Paris countryside. As a French immersion teacher, I am patient, warm, and rigorous, understanding the needs and goals of my students. I am fluent in several foreign languages, including English, which allows me to understand cultural differences and easily adapt to my students.
I love nature, hiking, cycling, and organic, local cuisine. I am also passionate about art, literature, and history, which allows me to organize enriching cultural tours for my students. I enjoy interacting with people from different cultures and strive to make learning French not only effective but also enjoyable.
Your Homestay & Activities
Your stay begins with a welcome session to get to know you and understand your personal goals and interests.
Mornings are primarily dedicated to personalized French lessons, tailored to your level and goals, typically held in a relaxed, one-on-one format. These sessions focus on practical communication, grammar, vocabulary, and oral expression. They are followed by a variety of immersive activities: guided discussions on local history and natural heritage, vocabulary exploration of regional flora and fauna during forest hikes, hands-on involvement in preparing and tasting artisanal products (goat cheeses, regional specialties), and conversation workshops based on authentic everyday situations in the Chevreuse Valley.
Afternoons are reserved for cultural and outdoor excursions: guided tours of Port-Royal-des-Champs Abbey, hikes up to the Château de la Madeleine for panoramic views, and walks along the Jean Racine trail through villages and bucolic landscapes. According to your preferences, trips to Paris (museums, concerts, theater performances) can be arranged via the nearby RER B, as well as outdoor activities such as mountain biking, horseback riding, golf, or independent discovery of local markets, festivals, and events to continue learning at your own pace.
To immerse oneself in the French language is to enter a world where every word carries the weight of history, every conversation reveals a culture, and every day becomes a discovery of the soul. —Maya Angelou
