The school is ideally located in the historic heart of Bordeaux, within a magnificent stone building featuring the region’s typical architecture, combining charm and modernity. The building includes a kitchenette and six classrooms spread over two floors.
The school also provide each student with a dedicated safety and well-being space.
The environment International House Bordeaux offer school's students strikes the perfect balance between tranquility and vibrancy: just a short walk from the Public Garden for moments of relaxation, while being surrounded by numerous shops, restaurants, and bakeries, with a tram stop only two minutes away on foot.
It all starts with a warm meeting with a local, native guide. Over a cup of coffee or a glass of local wine, he’ll give you an overview of the city’s history, personal anecdotes and tips on how to avoid tourist traps.
Then the tour begins with the must-see sites, such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, or Place Bellecour in Lyon. However, with a local guide, these places take on a different dimension. Instead of just historical facts, he tells local stories, urban legends, or shares personal memories linked to these places.
Where a traditional guide would take you along the beaten track, a local guide will introduce you to lesser-known but equally charming neighborhoods. You could stroll through the Marais in Paris to discover its cobbled streets and artisan boutiques, or explore Les Halles in Biarritz, a mecca for Baque Country gastronomy. These neighborhoods are often an authentic reflection of the daily lives of their inhabitants.
No visit to France would be complete without a tasting of local specialties. Your local guide will point you in the direction of the best boulangeries for a crisp croissant, fromageries to sample mature cheeses, or small restaurants to savor traditional dishes like huitres in Bordeaux or coq au vin in Lyon. He’ll explain the origins of the dishes and advise you on the best food and wine pairings.
Your local guide may introduce you to friends, craftspeople, shopkeepers or even artists. These exchanges enrich your experience, giving you a better understanding of the local culture and the concerns of the local people.
The local guide might take you to unusual places that tourists often overlook, such as an ancient crypt, a hidden artist’s studio, or a walk along a peaceful canal. These places, often off the beaten track, will leave you with unique memories.
The local guide is full of recommendations for the rest of your stay, places to revisit and events not to be missed..

Taking part in an oenology workshop in France is an immersive experience that combines discovery, conviviality and learning. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is warm and relaxed, in an authentic setting such as a cellar, vineyard or elegant room. Participants are greeted by a passionate sommelier or winemaker, ready to share his or her knowledge.
The workshop begins with an introduction to the world of wine, covering the basics of viticulture, grape varieties and French terroirs. Then it’s time for the tasting! Glass in hand, you’re guided through the various stages: observation of the color, analysis of the aromas on the nose, and finally, tasting in the mouth. Each wine tells its own story, and the instructor explains the subtleties of each cuvée, from winemaking techniques to the characteristics of the regions of origin.
You’ll learn to detect aromas, recognize different structures, and match wines with food. The experience is interactive, with participants sharing their impressions and questions. Conviviality is at the heart of the workshop, which is often punctuated by laughter and lively discussions about the taste discoveries made.
At the end of the workshop, not only do you leave with a better understanding of wine, but also with a new appreciation of this French art de vivre. It’s an enriching experience that awakens the senses and leaves a lasting impression on wine lovers and neophytes alike.
