Séjours

What Séjours does

Séjours Home Abroad is a Paris-headquartered, French-language travel and educational agency that organizes language-immersion programs for French-speaking families, students, and adults. It operates a catalog of approximately 200 stays across 20 countries covering English, Spanish, German, and Italian, segmented into 11 program types including campus-based summer schools, American-style summer camps, host-family immersion, classroom immersion, one-to-one professor-led programs, full-time overseas schooling for a trimester, semester, or academic year, volunteering abroad, parent-child combined stays, workplace immersion, and online language courses. The customer base is primarily B2C French families with children and adolescents aged 5-18 (designated as the primary segment), with a secondary cohort of students and young adults aged 16+; the company also offers language courses for adults. Customers buy either bundled tourism packages (organized by Italian tour operator Keiron Education Srl, registered in Milan and certified under Italian travel-agency SCIA) or higher-margin educational-advisory engagements (delivered by French entity Apex Voyages SASU, 22 avenue Victor Hugo, 75116 Paris), with administrative support covering visa, guardian designation, school enrollment, and travel insurance included as standard.

The underlying technology stack is a conventional web-based platform: a marketing and browsing site at sejours-homeabroad.com, a client login portal ('Espace client'), Cloudinary for image and video delivery, and HubSpot CRM (meetings.hubspot.com/sales-apex/sha) for pipeline management and appointment booking. No proprietary software, AI systems, or application-program interfaces are disclosed; apphas_app is false and api_exists is false. Operational support is split across two jurisdictions — Apex Voyages SASU in Paris acts as the commercial brand operator and provides educational consulting under its own conditions générales de vente, while Keiron Education Srl in Milan organizes and sells the actual tourism packages under Italian travel-operator regulation.

Commercial mechanics rest on per-person weekly pricing for short programs (from €785/week in Spain to €1,800/week in Ireland for equestrian), per-academic-year pricing for boarding-school placements in the UK (€11,000-€15,000), and separately invoiced advisory services from Apex Voyages. Go-to-market is a direct sales-led motion: family consultation via phone (+33 1 39 50 77 70), HubSpot meeting booking with a dedicated advisor, and end-to-end administrative accompaniment before, during, and after departure. Marketing reach is delivered through an educational blog, Facebook, Instagram, email newsletter, and webinars, with a 'Mes favoris' (Favorites) tool supporting repeat visits. The company carries the Contrat Qualité certification of L'Office National de Garantie des Séjours Linguistiques et Educatifs, is a member of industry association UNOSEL, and holds a Pixpay partnership that distributes a prepaid teen-travel card. Headcount is stated at 1-10, no funding has been disclosed, and the company is privately held.
