About Chez Vous Normandy Chez Vous Normandy has been offering faith-based study-abroad, service-learning, and mission awareness experiences in France since 1994. Supporting Christian universities, Christian schools, Home schools, and Churches – from both the U.S. and Canada - in their efforts to provide students with French studies in language, culture, history, and spiritual life. Chez Vous Normandy is a Christian non-profit 501(c)3 organization working cooperatively with North American Christian universities, helping students grow in their French language skills, in their love for French culture, and in appreciation for their spiritual heritage and ministry opportunities within the francophone world Founder and Director, Stephen Darling, holds an MA in Communications (cross-cultural emphasis) from Wheaton College. While working at Wheaton for 9 years in the Advancement Office, he frequently visited France where his sister and brother-in-law were serving in Christian ministry there. In 1994 he began hosting study-abroad opportunities for Christian university students from around the U.S. and Canada, a non-profit service that would officially become "Chez Vous Normandy." Franceville! Your small-town home on the Normandy coast just 2½ hours from Paris and 20 minutes from Caen.
