The Environment Is Part of the Method
You are not staying in a hotel near the language school. You are staying in the home where Bernard and Véronique live — because immersion is 24 hours a day. The six hours of one-on-one instruction are the formal session. Everything else — breakfast, lunch with Bernard, dinner with Bernard, the conversation at the table — is the rest of it.

Your Room
A private bedroom in the Henusse family home. Comfortable, quiet, entirely yours. What matters more than the room: you are surrounded by French from the moment you wake up until you go to sleep.
✓ Private en suite bathroom ✓ Comfortable double bed ✓ Fibre optic + Starlink internet ✓ TV and audiovisual
Véronique’s Table
Véronique prepares every meal from scratch using local Breton produce. Her cooking is mentioned consistently in reviews from 30+ countries — not as a nice bonus but as a core memory of the week. Brittany is one of France’s great food regions, and the table reflects it.
At lunch and dinner, Bernard joins you. The phonetic work done that morning gets tested in real conversation, naturally, over food. This is where students feel safe enough to try — and fail, and try again — in French.
The Garden
Between sessions, the garden is yours. A hammock, an outdoor table for homework, chickens, two cats, and Kiba the Border Collie — who will happily join you on walks during breaks. The atmosphere is quiet, green, and entirely French.
Kerfiac & Brittany
Kerfiac is a hamlet in the commune of Moustoir-Ac, deep in inland Brittany. There are no tourist distractions — just farmland, forests, and the kind of quiet that makes it possible to focus entirely on French for a week. The nearest town, Locminé, is five minutes by car.
Brittany has its own character: Celtic roots, granite villages, dramatic coastline, and some of the best food in France. Many students take a day or weekend before or after their week to explore.
Getting here
By air: Fly to Lorient (LRT), Rennes (RNS), or Nantes (NTE). Lorient is 40 minutes away; Rennes and Nantes are about 90 minutes. Bernard can arrange pickup from Lorient or Locminé station.
By train: TGV from Paris Montparnasse to Auray (2h40) or Vannes (2h30). Both are 30 minutes from Kerfiac.
By car: From Rennes, take the N24 west toward Lorient. Exit at Locminé. Kerfiac is signposted from there.
Gym
A converted barn next to the house with a full CrossFit-style setup. Available before or after your daily sessions. €10/day (cash). Washing machine and dryer also available for guests.
