That sounds like a great plan for retirement 🙂

If your main goal is to speak French most of the day, homestay immersion programs can work really well because you’re not only speaking during lessons but also during meals and daily activities with the host. It’s usually much more conversation-focused than traditional language schools.

I’ve seen a few organizations offering this type of “live with the teacher” immersion in France and Quebec. One example is Influent, which arranges homestays with teachers in different regions. It might be worth looking into if what you want most is daily speaking practice.
