Paris, Provence, Parfait! is an 8-day educational travel experience designed for large student groups seeking cultural depth through art, cuisine, and regional exploration. The program begins with classic sightseeing in Paris, introducing students to world-famous landmarks, museums, and neighborhoods that define French history and identity.
This French immersion program emphasizes cultural learning through observation, shared experiences, and everyday interaction, both in the capital and in the South of France. High-speed rail connects regions efficiently, allowing students to experience the contrast between Paris and Mediterranean life.
As the itinerary moves south, students explore Nice and the surrounding Riviera, discovering Provençal cuisine, historic villages, and coastal culture while gaining a broader understanding of France beyond the capital.

Prices are based on a minimum group size of 24 students. If the minimum is not met and your group cannot be combined, a small-group supplement will apply. Final pricing is determined by confirmed dates, air arrangements, family stay communities, program components, group size, and number of leaders at final billing.
Prices are subject to change due to fluctuations in fuel prices, exchange rates, and airfare costs beyond the control of Xperitas.
The order of itinerary items may change due to unforeseen circumstances prior to or during the program.
For any students who are unsure about pursuing an immersion program, I can only recommend giving it a try. My trip to France with Xperitas brought a new dimension to a language and culture I hadn’t experienced firsthand. Exploring new places and cultures abroad has given me some of my best memories and best friends, and has certainly played a role in shaping my goals for the future.
He would not have taken French for four years if this trip wasn’t planned. And now he is taking a fifth year of French. My son has always been a saver. But having to save and earn money to pay for the majority of this trip was a life-long lesson. He is hoping to visit France and other countries in the future.
My son had a fantastic time. He wanted to go back before he was even home. The Family Stay Experience was great for him. Hiking, youth group, family birthday party, relaxing at the family home, hanging out with his host brother’s friends and checking out the city. He really enjoyed the complete package of this trip!
