"The 4 weeks went very quickly and sadly Clement had to leave us and return home. I think the time he spent here in Australia gave him a really good taste for our way of life and he immersed himself at every opportunity to try new things and get out and enjoy as much of Wollongong and Sydney as he could during his stay (and a bit of Melbourne too).
He was a most affable young man and my wife and I were delighted to have him stay with us. He fitted well into our day to day routines and involved himself fully with our friends and family. Like the ongoing friendship that has continued long after my stay with the French family back in 2012, Clement is keen to stay in touch and continue to develop our friendship in the future. We are perhaps looking at visiting him and his family our next holiday to France.
I miss the daily French conversations already and I'm sure Clement's family and friends will be able to hear a bit of the Aussie accent in his English speaking, which really improved as we laughed at the many different expressions used in both languages.
Thank you for finding another great match for us in this wonderful program of yours. I hope all your tutors and their host families enjoy the fantastic interchange of language, ideas and culture as much as I have."

"C'était un séjour exceptionnel en toute simplicité dans le partage, dans la découverte et dans la bonne humeur! Les cours de derbuka dans les palmeraies étaient plus qu'appréciables et m'ont beaucoup appris ! Une expérience que je recommande, j'en garderai de très bon souvenirs!! En pleine immersion aux portes du désert avec des hôtes authentiques et attachants! Des activités diverses proposées sur place vraiment à faire pour découvrir cette région et sa culture! Merci à la famille travel tamegroute et merci à Aliore pour ce séjour gravé à jamais dans ma mémoire."

"La beauté, la sérénité de l’endroit, l’accueil de Madame Roselyne Sanial et sa disponibilité, le cours de cuisine très complet et très didactique de la cuisinière du riad, Khadijah, le service de table de Brahim aux petits soins pour nous, et le dîner chez Abdelsamad, le jardinier du Riad. Mon ressenti : un degré d’hospitalité disparu depuis belle lurette sous nos climats, l’hospitalité à l’orientale... cerise sur le gâteau, nous sommes tombées sur la saison de récolte des dattes. Bien sur nous avons aussi appris ... le gâteau aux dattes."

"My wife and I spent 2 weeks in a medieval castle with a French couple who were very lenient with our French language. We had a marvellous vacation, very unique one. Spending 2 week at the medieval castle with a presence of old furniture, paintings, etc. even atmosphere was something out of ordinary. The people we met, people we made friends with all of it was worth while staying there. The landscape and its beauty nearly took our breath away. I was very pleased to be able to help other people with their everyday work. We did what we were told- sweeping the floor, flowering the plants, repairing the medieval wall and so on..."
