The experience that helps you grow — immersion stays in English-speaking countries
Rendez-vous Autour du Monde is an independent French agency specializing in immersion stays in English-speaking countries. Founded by Virginie Rauwel, the agency draws on over 20 years of experience in teaching and organizing language travel to offer fully personalized programs in Ireland, the United States, and the United Kingdom for teenagers, students, and adults.
"Immersion is at the heart of our programs: experience has shown us that motivation and enjoyment are decisive in language learning. Nothing beats travel to dare step out of your comfort zone and grow linguistically, culturally, and personally."
With over 20 years in teaching and organizing school trips, Virginie Rauwel founded Rendez-vous Autour du Monde to give young people the opportunity to live a transformative immersion experience. A former English teacher, she witnessed firsthand how travel and real-world interaction unlock motivation and confidence in ways a classroom never can.
"Through Rendez-vous Autour du Monde, I want to give hundreds of young people the chance to live a life-changing experience — just as I did."

No hidden fees, no bad surprises. We believe in total transparency about what is and isn't included.
Organization was top-notch: whether it was activities, accommodation, transport or catering. A truly turnkey stay for peace of mind, and flexible to suit your wishes. Virginie is very professional, available, and responsive for everything, day and night. This was our first trip to London and we recommend her company wholeheartedly. The students loved London and came back with stars in their eyes. We, the teachers, also thoroughly enjoyed it. What a pleasure to end on a high note with our Year 7 students.
