Costs:•Students traveling to France only pay for their airfare, travel insurance, and souvenirs.•French host family pays for your meals and lodging. •The reason this program is so inexpensive is because Fontanil and Ponchatoula are Sister Cities.
How Does It Work? •Students are paired based on common interests (ex. sports, movies)•They correspond by email during the time leading up to the exchange.
