Join Me in Nîmes and Provence This June: A French Adventure Awaits

I can’t tell you how excited I am about our upcoming trip to Nîmes and Provence this June! Whether you’re already booked or still deciding, let me share some of the incredible experiences we’ve got planned. After our recent planning meeting in Nîmes, I’ve been buzzing with ideas to make this trip unforgettable.

Discovering the Heart of French Culture Together

This journey is all about diving into the vibrant life and culture of France. Picture yourself wandering through bustling markets, sharing a laugh over a game of pétanque, or savouring a café while soaking up the atmosphere. These are the kinds of moments that bring the French language to life and I’m so thrilled to experience them with you.

Spaces are filling up fast! Book yours here.

This trip will be a blend of discovery, relaxation and connection. Whether you’re clinking glasses of wine in a vineyard, exploring ancient streets, or simply watching the world go by from a café terrace, every moment will be a chance to practise your French and create lasting memories

Fresh Ideas to Add Even More Magic

At our recent meeting, you came up with some brilliant ideas to add even more richness to the experience. I’m currently exploring how to weave these into the trip:

  • Getting involved with the locals: What a great idea to find a place where we can play pétanque or maybe even some board games with locals. What better way to connect with French life? I think I know of a bar that has games nights—Watch this space for more details!
  • Theatre and Events: I’m looking into open-air performances and events in the arena. There is also a theatre in the centre of the old town. Imagine enjoying a beautiful play or live music under the stars—it would be such a special experience.
  • Getting Active: For those who enjoy the water, there are wild swimming spots and kayaking adventures nearby. If cycling is more your thing, how about a bike ride through the Camargue countryside?
  • Fun Challenges: I’m thinking of setting us some fun mini-challenges during the trip—maybe ordering a full meal in French, finding the best boulangerie, or snapping a photo with a local.
  • Making Travel Seamless: I’m researching train and bus times to make sure everything runs smoothly. I'll let you know specific times once new timetables are published.

Why This Trip is So Special

This isn’t just about sightseeing—it’s about truly experiencing French life. I’ll be there every step of the way to help you feel confident speaking French, even if it’s just a few words at first. We’ll celebrate every little win together, whether it’s ordering your first croissant in confident French, asking for directions and actually understanding the reply, or sharing jokes and anecdotes with locals. The aim is to come away from this trip with more than just improved language skills. It's a chance to feel connected to the culture, inspired by the beauty of the region, and proud of the progress you’ve made.

Your Itinerary for June

Here’s a look at what we’ve planned so far: 

  • Sunday 8th June: La Feria de Nîmes
    Nîmes will be alive with energy as La Feria fills the streets with parades, music, food, and celebration. It’s a spectacular way to immerse yourself in the city’s culture and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

  • Wednesday 11th & Wednesday 18th June: Uzes Market Days
    Both Wednesdays will be dedicated to exploring the charming Uzes market, with its 60 stalls offering regional delicacies, handmade crafts, and fresh local produce.

  • Thursday 12th June: Wine Tasting in Provence
    I’m curating a special wine-tasting experience where we’ll enjoy the region’s best wines and learn about the art of winemaking in Provence.

  • Friday 13th & Tuesday 17th June: Day Trips to Lyon
    We’ll head to Lyon, the gastronomic capital of France, for a full day of exploration, history and indulgence in its world-class cuisine.

    *There are more dates available and I will add more detail to those as and when they are booked.
