Each weekly program includes several excursions. That’s when the excitement and action rise to the next level! We get ready for a real game of paintball — take aim and fire! On Saturday, we visit the market in Le Puy-en-Velay, where we make the most of the many opportunities to meet and chat with the locals. On another day, we head to the picturesque village of Sainte-Enimie for a town activity. After a picnic, we stop for an adventurous kayak descent through the Gorges du Tarn. A highlight for group spirit is the bivouac, set in a stunning location with a breathtaking view. And who knows — you might even spot a shooting star!

We stay at the Lycée Sacré-Cœur in Langogne. Normally, CLIP does not use school buildings for accommodation, but we gladly make an exception for this modern school. CLIP transforms the grounds into a true holiday setting with garden tables, colorful parasols and outdoor lounges, a pétanque court, ping-pong tables, table football, a barbecue, and a fire pit… Admit it — the school atmosphere feels far away in summer. Here, you’ll quickly feel right at home.

Our training center is located in the heart of Langogne, an important town in the Cévennes region in the south of France (Massif Central, 913 meters above sea level). With its 3,100 inhabitants, there are plenty of opportunities for interesting encounters here. During the excursions to Le Puy-en-Velay and Sainte-Enimie, there’s also time for friendly chats with the local people.

French is, of course, the language of communication from morning to night. Everyone agrees that this approach yields the best results. “Learning is daring” – that’s our motto! Speaking is the goal! The language workshops are a playful way to stimulate communication. You’ll dare too, right? With super fun team-building activities – starting right on the bus – we help everyone overcome their hesitation to speak French. Everything is done to foster openness and well-being among participants. Positive feedback and challenges with rewards at the end of the week – both for the group and for each individual – provide extra motivation. When you feel good, you’re more eager to speak French! In Naussac, Belgian instructors work hand in hand with their French colleagues, creating a unique atmosphere where participants feel comfortable and learn a lot at the same time.

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).
