Welcome to the Marco Polo Institute!
Mise à jour du site le 1-01-2024
The mission of the Marco Polo Institute is based on 4 pillars:
- The stays and outdoor activities "à la carte" are there for your enjoyment and allow you to discover in depth our beautiful region.
- Trainings:
We have a different approach to training and want everyone to benefit from the best experience possible. Moreover, we offer trainings en anglais. Ces cours sont finançables via le CPF, les OPCO ou des financements personnels. —Plus spécifiquement, nous mettons en place avec des partenaires privés situés hors de France, des parcours spécifiques pour des étudiants chinois des cours de français langue étrangère (FLE) et des formations en hôtellerie restauration. Ces parcours ne sont pas accessibles au public français. - Integration paths into higher education:
Because we want to prepare foreign students and facilitate their access to French universities or "Grandes Écoles" (specialised elite professional schools). - Project support: Because we believe in partnerships and synergies for a hopeful future, we support both French and Chinese companies in the development of their activities or projects in both territories.
Because we want to
Share the wealth of our territories
Highlight all the actors who are taking part in it
Work while having fun
Make your stay and / or your training unforgettable
Develop synergies abroad to make the world a more open and connected place
Take a breath of fresh air with our leisure / educational stays!
We love our region and that is why we offer these stays and outdoor activities.
Nous avons développé un partenariat avec le Vélorail du Morvan in order to create a "vélorail (draisine) + off-road scooter" package.
Because our regions here is France are beautiful and full of gems, we have decided to share them with you. We have also organised various stays – whether themed, educational or "à la carte", to one to several days – allowing you to discover them at your own leisure and pace.
Therefore, what more can we say, except that we are looking forward to seeing you soon!
Our trainings, in short
At the Marco Polo Institute, we are working on developing innovative educational programs in English to everyone because we believe there is no age to learn!
Dans le cadre de montages spécifiques avec des partenaires privés,
-nous pouvons préparer les étudiants étrangers aux métiers de receptionist in the hospitality sector, to cook , ensuring une immersion dans des entreprises du domaine, car nous sommes convaincus de l’importance de la pratique!
-nous pouvons accompagner students from foreign establishments in learning the French language and culture – French as a Foreign Language. As such, we offer FLE courses for integration into "enseignement supérieur" (higher education) for foreign students wishing to prepare for competitive examinations or to integrate training cycles leading to qualifications or graduations in French higher education.
-nous pouvons accompagner foreign students who wish to directly integrate our partner schools and universities.
Please note: Most of our training courses can be provided remotely for our customers abroad.
Institute Marco Polo internationally
Since its creation, the Marco Polo Institute has been developing several partnerships in order to contribute to a fresh new look on the world.
Marco Polo and China
We are collaborating with several regions of China with the aim of:
- offering courses that allow students to earn a double degree in the hospitality sector (hotel and restaurant services),
- developping educational and cultural exchanges between primary schools in both countries,
- supporting the establishment of educational partnerships between French and Chinese higher education institutions,
- encouraging the signature of protocols for economic, tourism and educational cooperation between the city of Autun and the two districts of the city of Chengdu.This has already led to the signature of a twinning between the two cities.
Marco Polo and Canada
We have developed with our Canadian partner Young Global Citizens, an activity that brings together children from all over the world around the theme of sustainable development. Thanks to interviews with renowned personalities, the children have a great chance to exchange ideas in English and open up to the world.
Here at the Marco Polo Institute, we guarantee you:
an offer made up of innovative, fun and effective holiday formulas and/or programs.
a quality organisation, precise and adapted to the individual needs.
a permanent and personalised follow-up.
a constant availability of the entire team to support you.
a wonderful experience, always in a good mood!

- a stay that you wish to organise,
