Good day,
My husband and I are thinking of going to St. Anne Guadalupe to go to French Immersion School next winter. (We have done this twice on mainland France - first time fabulous and second time not so much.) So we are looking to do more research this time.
So any information anyone might have on either visiting Guadalupe OR the French Immersion School at St. Anne, we'd be very grateful.
Thanks kindly,
Lea from Calgary

Never done the language immersion thing, but one thing I know about Guadeloupe is that you DEFINITELY need some knowledge of French to really enjoy a vacation there (or really like pointing a lot to make your point). Unless it has changed much in the past couple of years, no one speaks English (not a complaint, just an observation). That said, the times we have vacationed there have been fabulous. Mainland France pours a ton of money into the FWI (remember, they are a state, not just a territory), and it shows. Great roads, great supermarkets (with everything including great wines and cheeses flown in from the French mainland daily), incredible scuba diving (Jacques Cousteau set up his diving preserve there on the west coast), and a beautiful assortment of out islands for day tripping (Les Saintes are spectacular). Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks kindly for the info! Actually my husband and I are considered to be 'independent' speakers of French by "L'alliance française" and so are delighted to go someplace where people don't respond in English when we speak French. Good practice!

Have fun! Never stayed in St Anne, but I remember it as having a terrific beach and a lot of really cool looking beach bars. Sounds like a perfect base.
