Bienvenue au Lac du Bois, Bemidji where staff and villagers from all over the world gather to share experiences and to gain a better understanding about la culture française et francophone. Indeed, everything here is French: conversations, activities, meals, songs and the general atmosphere.
Lac du Bois is situated in the beautiful woods of Northern Minnesota on a peaceful lake. It is here that we have created a place unlike any other: a place where villagers are able to experience francophone culture during their stay of 1, 2, or 4 weeks at Lac du Bois. Whether you are a beginning or advanced French speaker, there is a place for you at Lac du Bois!
Our staff looks forward to the opportunity every summer to share their varied experiences of learning and speaking French: some staff members were previous villagers, others are native speakers, and still others have lived abroad in French-speaking countries and are eager to share their experiences.
Please feel free to explore our site to learn more about daily life at the village. Also, parents, be sure to check out "Les Activités," "Les Familles," and "Les Photos Diverses" to see photos of your villager!
