Sejours Internationaux Linguistiques et Culturelles
Nov 2000
Je m'appelle Sandra Sanders-West. Each summer, I take a group of High School
students to Nantes, France. We spend the month of July taking excursions
around Brittany, learning the customs of french families and exploring Paris.
This will be my tenth year of Student Travel to France. My company is S.I.
L. C. Sejours Internationaus Linguistiques et Culturels. If you would like to
have your student attend a Parent Information meeting with you, please call
me at: (510)208-2958. The student group usually consisits of students from
several Bay Area High School. The group is limited to twelve students.

Sejours Internationaux Linguistiques et Culturelles (S.I.L.C.) is an
organization that has taken Berkeley High students to France for the last ten
years. IF you would like information, please call: Sandra Sanders-West at
(510)836-1154. This year's program will leave on the 10th of July and return
on the 10th of August. (4/00)
I want to share info. regarding the SILC program of cultural exchange in
France. My daughter took part in this wonderful program in the summer between
her sophomore and junior years and she had a ball! Students are placed with
a family in Nantes for just over 3 weeks. At the end of the trip, the group
spends 3 or 4 days in Paris before flying home. Sandy West will be taking the
group for the tenth time this summer. While in Nantes, the group gets
together for outings every 3 or 4 days. This is very comforting for a lot of
kids- just knowing that they will be seeing English-speaking people on a
regular basis! The American students not only bond with each other but with
their French family and sometimes the families of other kids on the program.
Nantes is a safe city and students can easily navigate its public
transportation if they wish.
My daughter returned the following summer to her family and, the summer after
that, the French daughter came to stay with us. If you are interested, you
can reach Sandy at 836-1154 at home or 238-2922 at work or e-mail at
