This immersion class with Chantal was one of the best experiences of my life.A private lesson with Chantal was priceless with undivided attention.Right after my arrival, classe started the next day. With homeworks and sometimes reports after watching a video or two, I didn’t even feel the jet lag.Every class was fruitful and I learned a lot which I used later in Paris.

I could not only practice my French but also learn about life in France. Chantal is also an excellent cook and she makes it look easy and simple, yet very tasty. She enjoys cooking and not a single dish was repeated during my stay for 2 weeks.I was glad to volunteer and help her in the kitchen, another opportunity to learn aboutFrench cooking.
One of the excursions was to Auvers-sur-Oise where Vincent Van Gogh died and is buried along with his brother Theo. I never knew that it was so close to Mouy and how excited I was when I got there and saw the famous church and fields in person!I had to revisit that place one more time when I stayed in Paris after Mouy.
Aside from the French language, this stay opened my eyes to French cuisine and lifestyle.
Definitely I am going back to Mouy not only to improve my French but because I miss all
of Mouy, most of all the lovely family members and adorable Grignote and Lulu.
