Work/stay in France?

Hi, I'm hoping to apply to Oxford to read Classics with French, and I want to spend some time in France over Easter to really immerse myself in the lingo before my exams in the summer. Does anyone know of any good organisations through which I can get work/au pair, or find myself a stay with a host family? This would be for about 1 week, max of 2...
Thanks (in anticipation)!!

Hey, how about a French course? I went to Spain with this company and had lessons entirely in Spanish for 2 weeks, it was really good for my Spanish, but anyway they do the same in France, and if it's language you want to improve then that is definitely better than work experience, I spoke hardly any French when I went on French work experience last year!!
