Here's what a typical month looks like!
Paris, March 15, 2026
Cher ami, chère amie,
Aujourd'hui, je t'emmène dans le quartier du Marais, à Paris ! Savais-tu que le mot « marais » signifie « swamp » en anglais ? Il y a très longtemps, ce quartier était une zone humide. Mais aujourd'hui, c'est l'un des quartiers les plus beaux de Paris !
Tu peux y voir la Place des Vosges, la plus ancienne place de Paris. Elle a été construite en 1612 ! C'est un endroit parfait pour lire un livre ou manger une glace.
À bientôt pour de nouvelles aventures !

Families from around the world share their experience.
My daughter waits for her letter every month with so much excitement! She has made incredible progress in French. The worksheets are perfect and the recipes have become our Sunday tradition.
As a French teacher, I recommend Lettres de France to all my students. The content is authentic, well-adapted to each level, and the cultural topics spark amazing discussions in class.
I love getting real mail! The letter about Provence was my favorite — and I actually made the lavender cookies recipe. Now I write French letters to my pen pal in Lyon!
Every letter is written with love, by someone who lives and breathes French culture.
Salut! I'm Nathalie — a French maman, born and raised in Paris, now living in the north of England with my family.
I used to teach French in primary and secondary schools, and I absolutely loved seeing that spark when a child discovers a new word or finally gets a tricky pronunciation right. When I became a mum of three and started home educating all of them, I realised how hard it can be to find French learning materials that feel real — not just textbook exercises, but something that brings the language and culture to life.
That's how Lettres de France was born. Every letter I write comes straight from the heart — the places I grew up exploring, the recipes my family has cooked for generations, the little cultural details that make France so special. I want your children to feel like they have a real French friend writing to them each month.
Everything you need to know about Lettres de France.
Our letters are written at A2/B1 level (CEFR). For complete beginners, we recommend starting with the 7-11 group which uses simpler language and lots of visual support. Parents or teachers can also use the worksheets as guided learning tools. Most children progress quickly with regular exposure!
Yes! We deliver worldwide via Royal Mail. Shipping is free within the UK. For international delivery, a flat fee of $5/month applies. Delivery typically takes 5-15 business days depending on destination. The digital content (PDF, audio, worksheets) is available immediately, no matter where you live.
For the monthly plan (physical or digital): absolutely, you can cancel anytime with no questions asked. For the 6-month plan, it's a 6-month commitment. For the yearly plan, it's a 12-month commitment. In all cases, you can cancel the renewal at any time and keep access to all content you've already received.
Each month explores a different facet of French culture: gastronomy, French regions, history, art, holidays and traditions, nature, famous figures, daily life, music, cinema, and more. We carefully select topics that are engaging for young learners and provide a rich cultural context.
Yes! All audio recordings are made by native French speakers. For the 7-11 group, the reading is slower and more articulated. For the 12-18 group, the audio is at a natural conversational pace. This helps learners get used to authentic French pronunciation and rhythm.
Yes! If you don't need the physical letter, our Digital Only plan ($6/month) gives you access to the letter PDF, audio reading, worksheets, vocabulary, cultural activities, and recipe — all delivered to your inbox each month.
Absolutely! We offer gift subscriptions for 3, 6, or 12 months. You'll receive a beautiful customizable gift certificate to print or email. It's the perfect gift for any young person learning French — birthdays, holidays, or just because!
