The Ardèche is bursting with inspiration and leaves no one untouched. With pen and brush, in clay, wood or metal… the region lifts every creative spirit to a higher level.
Together with the artists and craftsmen of ASCAR Association, we embark on a journey through time, where ancient traditions are brought back to life. You’ll learn to shape clay into elegant pottery or transform wood and metal into unique creations. Guided by experienced professionals, you’ll discover how exciting it is to let your own artistic voice shine.

After this creative dive into craftsmanship, we move to the kitchen. Because in the Ardèche, cooking itself is an art. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a beginner, the focus is on the joy of creating and tasting new flavors in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

We end the week with an adventurous twist: an outdoor escape game, where our creativity and team spirit are put to the test one last time.

In short: a week full of art, craft and taste that will inspire, enrich, and perhaps even spark a brand-new passion!

On language camp at the Maison des Astars!
In Villeneuve-de-Berg we stay in a super cool historic place with a pool, terrace and even an outdoor kitchen. You’ll share comfy rooms with your own bathroom. Days are filled with language workshops and fun activities, evenings with chilling together, outdoor meals and pool time. The perfect summer vibe!

We’re staying in the heart of Villeneuve-de-Berg, a charming little town of 3,200 inhabitants that truly comes alive in summer.

Meeting the locals is easy here, especially on market day (Wednesday) and during the many festive events. On summer evenings, the Mardi Villeneuvois, a lively night market, adds even more atmosphere.

The townspeople always welcome us with open arms. Swapping a pancake or cotton candy for a friendly chat? They love it! And during our excursions to places like Vallon-Pont-d’Arc and Avignon, fun conversations with locals are always part of the adventure.

At CLIP, learning a language isn’t about boring lessons, but about action, variety and above all, fun. From the moment the bus leaves, we kick off with creative group activities that bring everyone together and help overcome the fear of speaking French. Through games, movement and creativity, learning French becomes natural and enjoyable.

We focus on daring to speak: making mistakes is allowed, because that’s how you grow. The group’s energy and the guidance provided create a safe environment where everyone feels comfortable joining in. Language, fun and friendship blend into an experience you’ll never forget.

We leave together by bus on Friday evening, with departures from Leuven (8:00 pm), Groot-Bijgaarden (8:45 pm) or Ghent Dampoort (9:30 pm). We return on Sunday morning to Leuven (8:00 am), Groot-Bijgaarden (8:45 am) and Ghent Dampoort (9:30 am).

The price includes transport, accommodation and the program, but excludes breakfast on the first morning (lunch during departure on Black Saturday) and personal expenses.

To make sure you don’t forget anything, we’ve listed everything in this handy packing list.

No worries: we’ll also send you all the practical info by email before you leave! PLEASE NOTE: On 1/8, coaches carrying children are not allowed to travel through France. Departure is therefore exceptionally scheduled for Friday morning (due to heavy traffic on the French motorways). The departure times will then be as follows: Leuven at 8:00, Groot-Bijgaarden at 8:45 and Gent-Dampoort at 9:30.
