Thank you for this stay!

I was lucky enough to take part in a language stay in Bordeaux organized by the Alliance Française de Lima, and these two weeks were one of the best experiences of my life! I've improved my level of French thanks to quality lessons with very good teachers, and by putting it into practice thanks to the activities on offer, which have also enabled me to discover a large part of Bordeaux. I'm very grateful to the Alliance Française de Bordeaux team, and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their French!
