🏝️ Tucked away on the southern coast of Brittany, Concarneau is a dreamy blend of medieval charm and seaside beauty that often flies under the radar - but it absolutely shouldn’t. The highlight? The Ville Close — a stunning walled town set on an island in the harbour.

Other don’t-miss experiences:

🐠 A seafood lunch at the market or harbourside brasseries (this is one of France’s biggest fishing ports!)

🌊 A stroll along the coastal path for postcard-worthy views of turquoise water and white-sand coves.

🖼️ The Musée de la Pêche to learn about the town’s maritime past

🛥️ A ferry hop to the Glénan Islands, often called the “Breton Caribbean”.

Tip: Come early in the morning or stay late to enjoy the Ville Close without the crowds!

🇫🇷 Happy Bastille Day! France’s national holiday is a time of celebration across the nation! What will you be doing to celebrate today?

🎶 Everyone loves music, and utilising it is a powerful way to teach children English - and to make their new knowledge stick!

Here’s a simple exercise to bring song into the classroom…

🎵 Choose a simple English song.
✏️ Break it down line by line.
🗣️ Explain idioms, contractions and cultural references.
💡 Have students rewrite lyrics using different vocabulary.

☀️ Many English teachers in Paris commence summer vacation today and we’d like to take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful break!

What are your plans for your vacation? Are you heading home? Travelling abroad? Stay safe and enjoy your well-deserved rest!

We’ll be here throughout the summer with lots of fun content as usual, so make sure to check back in!

✨Did you know the Sacré-Cœur cleans itself? 🤯

Built with Château-Landon stone, this iconic Paris basilica releases a white substance called calcite every time it rains, which acts like a natural bleach. So instead of getting dirtier over time, it stays gleaming white!

☀️🚗 There’s something undeniably magical about Provence in the summer. Sun-drenched landscapes, lavender-scented air, medieval villages perched on hillsides, and an easy rhythm that invites you to slow down.

This month on our blog we have a new guide to help you plan an unforgettable Provence summer road trip - packed with scenic stops, hidden gems, and local flavours.

Living in Paris? You’ll quickly notice many charming quirks!

From table manners to preferring things on the warm side, Parisians have their own way of doing things - and honestly, it grows on you.

Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned expat, these little habits are part of what makes Paris, well… Paris.

Which of these have you already adopted?

☀️ Paris summers can be beautiful - but also brutally hot! Whether you’re teaching summer classes, exploring the city, or heading to the nearest green space for a much-needed break, here’s a few essential survival items to stay cool, comfortable, and prepared…

👚 Lightweight shirt & sandals for breathable comfort.
💧 Water bottle to stay hydrated on the go.
🧴 SPF 50 sunscreen to protect your skin.
🪭 Hand fan or electric fan to beat the heat.
🧺 Picnic blanket & basket for impromptu park lunches.
📕 A good book to escape into.
💼 Tote bag to carry your essentials.
🧣 A bright scarf to add French style and sun protection.
🍾 Corkscrew - because you never know when a bottle of rosé will call your name.

Don’t let the heat get the best of you - stay stylish and sun-safe out there!

🏝️ Paris Plage just got a whole lot better! After an extensive clean up effort for last year’s Paris Olympics, we are thrilled to learn that swimming in the Seine is now a summer staple for locals and visitors!

Swimming in the Seine has actually been banned for over a century, but now the water is clean, cool and ready for dip! From July 5 to August 31, three free swimming areas will be accessible in the Seine as part of Paris Plages. These will be at Bercy, Grenelle and Bras Marie.

Just what the hot Parisian summer called for!

🍷 Last night’s catch up! Don’t forget - we have one final happy hour / dinner planned for next Friday the 20th! Don’t miss it as it’s the last for the school year!

Hello Paris Teachers!
