"Nice place (Perros-Guirec), nice family, lot of French spoken"

Catherine Ek, student from Sweden

I stayed in Perros-Guirec near Lannion, (not in Nantes). The family was very nice and accommodating.
Their house was nice, there was a problem though, I had asked for a private bathroom (meaning toilet) for health reasons, but the family had not understood that it was a private toilet I needed. So the room they had assigned for me did not have a toilet, and I was supposed to share a toilet, three stories down with the rest of the family. That would not, unfortunately, work for me so they had to put me up in an annex, not really ready for occupancy, but with a private toilet. It worked but it was not perfect.
Madame Le Cam really took care of me in the best possible way. We had lessons and we went sightseeing, practically the whole day.
The lessons mostly consisted of discussing different topics, I might have needed a little more of hands-on grammar for foreigners, but I think, however, that my French has improved considerably. And as I said, madame Le Cam and her family were really very nice and helpful and made my stay very agreeable.
