The primary purpose of this exchange is to allow students to truly experience Bretagne culture through immersive homestays with families who are part of the school community at the La Croix Rouge College Lycee in Brest. Homestays give students the unique opportunity to understand and interact with the people, food, music, and culture of Brest; lifelong friends, improved language skills, increased self-confidence, and expanded worldviews are the typical outcomes. Our hosting school in Brest and local host families work in tandem to create unique opportunities for students from Denver to see and experience day-to-day life in France, attend school with their respective host student, and discover some of the cultural heritage and areas of interest in and around Brest, France, near the western tip of the Breton peninsula.
