    My school did a French Exchange programme, so I got to spend a week in Vernon, went to school 2 days and the rest of the days we went sight seeing in Paris. Would have been delighted to spend more time there! I'd love to go to school there, the French are a lot more mature than Irish kids. The school was amazing and the teachers were lovely! I bet she'd love it, it wold be a cool experience!

    I went for four weeks in April/May. Spent two weeks in school and two weeks on holiday with my French partner as he was off school for two weeks for Easter. Had a brilliant time and learned loads of French. Details are on this website: www.irishstudentexchange.com. Very well organised and very reasonable also.
