Spend a week using French in full-time placements with Lille’s businesses, schools and organisations, matched to your interests and future plans. Live with local hosts, get support from a Group Leader and build confidence in workplace and intercultural communication. You’ll finish with a certificate.

Blue Stamp Travel’s Work Experience Abroad programme in Lille gives students the chance to use French in a real working environment while living and travelling independently in a supported group setting. The trip is designed for older school students who want to build confidence, improve fluency, and experience everyday French life beyond the classroom.

Participants spend the week on full-time placements in local businesses, schools, and organisations across Lille. The placement is matched to each student’s preferences, experience, and future plans, and the programme is supported by an experienced Group Leader who visits placements and helps with any difficulties that arise.

Students also gain a practical understanding of workplace expectations, professional conduct, and intercultural communication. The package includes homestay accommodation with local hosts, half-board meals, travel support, and a certificate at the end of the trip.

Students travel by Eurostar from London St Pancras to Lille, with detailed travel guidance provided. An alternative departure is also offered later in the year, and bookings open in August 2026.
