Perfect your French language skills with a Parisian accent! To master French, you need to immerse yourself in the language and culture. Consider this the perfect opportunity! Our French language courses allow you to practice French on a daily basis. You’ll be able to watch French films in the movie houses lining the Champs Elysées, chat with Parisians as you stroll through the Parc des Tullieres or order a crocque-monsieur at a local bistro – what better way to learn French?

While in Paris, you will explore the multitude of opportunities the city has to offer.  With the program you will embark upon a walking tour of downtown Paris, as well as a boat tour of the Seine, a visit to the Crypts of Notre Dame, and the Museum of Medieval History.  You will also have a chance to see major media giants in France during a visit to Le Monde, L’Humanité, and Le Figaro newspapers.  A visit to the UNESCO in Paris as well as the Institute of the Arab World, the French Parliament and the Pompidou Center will give you a taste of Paris’s international scene. Finally, you will have the chance to see the Palace at Versailles, as well as the city of Strasbourg!
