Welcome to LEC Washington

LEC (Loisirs Culturels a l'Etranger) is a travel organization headquartered in Paris. Since 1972, LEC has arranged visits for French students to American homes. Every year, nearly 250 students count on families like yours to open their home and their hearts for three weeks in the summer months. These French ambassadors are here to improve their English skills, to learn about the American culture and create friendships that may last a lifetime.

LEC TO PARTICIPATE AT “PIEDMONT DAY” ON MAY 4TH, 2014



Piedmont, a Golf Community
For the 3rd year, I will be participating at the Piedmont Day, May 4th from 2 to 6 pm. Scheduled rain date is May 10th. I will be recruiting area families to welcome French students for a 3-week stay this summer. The program doesn’t require that the host family speaks French or covers the French student’s personal expenses. Hosts need only provide room, board and companionship. LEC provides the rest including comprehensive medical and hospital care insurance and return to France in case of emergency. LEC students are between 13 and 19 years of age and all have a minimum of four years of English studies. Piedmont Day is held in Gainesville, on the Clatterbuck pool, and can be accessed from the Catharpin Rd. entrance.

Families interested are invited to stop by our table and pick up Eiffel Tower shaped cookies along with information pamphlets. A nice sunny day is in order.\

My booth number is #13.
