Colonies de vacances question

[BarkisIsWilling]

Hi France-based Mnetters,

I am seriously considering UCPA or FarWest Enfants for my 9 year-old next summer. He has an extremely basic knowledge of French, but really wants to go to one of these.

How would I go about booking one of these, and could you make specific recommendations as to which one? I'd like something in the north of France so that I can visit from London, but am otherwise open to suggestion.

Any opinions? Merci en avance.

You might get a better response if you post in Living Overseas? I often see French based MNers on there who I never come across on any other forum.

Put their names in your OP too, so they see it! (AuldAlliance, Frakk,Bonsoir etc are a mine of information!)

Thanks. Will do so now.
