Interested in our Life in France programs for 2027?

Try-It- Out Trip: This 3-week stay gives you a solid introduction to practical skill-building for ‘life’ v. ‘vacationing’ in France.  Our secret ingredient that makes our participants say "this is life-changing" is our community.  You'll meet a cross-section of locals (French & newcomers) and participate in a wide range of cultural events, skill-building seminars and many opportunities for building lasting friendships, with locals and your fellow 'try-it-outers" .

A Season in France: At long last, our thing for 'permanent part-timers"!  Frankly, this is for those of us who would like to live full-time in France, but for one reason or another, can't. It's a place you go regularly for a season -- it's not a vacation, or a forever move -- but its a place where you can really belong, a second home, as it were (without the worry or expense).   'Season' stays are from 4 weeks to 11 weeks and come with the immersive language and culture options that a bunch of us have been looking for for a long time.  If you can't move to France full time, but you can stay for weeks and/or  months  ---long enough to feel like you belong -- this is your trip!

You’ve dreamed it for a long time.  Now, you are ready to get serious. 

Dreaming is good. However, now you are ready to go beyond just knowing you love the idea.  We can help you get unstuck. We can help you look before you leap.  
This ‘try-it-out-trip’ is a MONTH LONG.  That is what makes A Life in France™  completely different than any other option.  Our pilot session begins September 15th – October 15th 2025 and availability is already limited!
 A Life in France™ is designed to be more like an internship than a vacation.   gives you the experience to evaluate whether a retirement in France is for you.  You try a life on — like trying on a piece of clothing in store before you buy it.  
Dreaming is great.  Doing the dream – that’s a different skill set.  We can help you discover a path past the dream and into A Life in France™
