Authentic French Retreats: luxury, culture, language, and connections
Boise Favorites Winner 2024

The Live and Learn experience
At Live and Learn, we believe the best way to experience France is to live it, slowly, deeply, and authentically. Our luxurious retreats are designed for travelers who want more than just a vacation. Whether you’re seeking cultural discovery or a full language immersion experience, we take care of every detail so you can relax and enjoy the beauty, flavors, and traditions of France.
We welcome small private groups of 6 to 8 guests (depending on the property size) who come to us ready to share an unforgettable journey together. You gather your group, friends, family, or colleagues, and we take care of the rest: selecting a stunning French home, organizing expert-led excursions, and curating a program true to the region’s character.
Our retreats are all about slow living and genuine connection with each place. We partner with local guides, chefs, and artisans to bring you authentic experiences, from vineyard tours in Burgundy and coastal adventures in Brittany, to the wild beauty of Corsica and, soon, the snowy slopes of the French Alps. Every retreat blends comfort, culture, and cuisine in a way that’s true to the specialties and charm of each region.
For those who wish to combine travel with intensive French language learning, each retreat can also be designed as an intensive language learning retreat, combining cultural discovery with tailored French lessons and real-life practice woven into your daily experiences. Whether your focus is on culture, language, or a perfect mix of both, every moment will be enriching, authentic, and effortlessly memorable.
