 France is an exciting and romantic country with an abundance of history and beauty alike. It is perhaps the only country with which we exchange that requires all students to be fluent in French upon arrival. This requirement benefits the outbound student by easing the transition into the French culture, which is rich in tradition and gentility. The French are famous worldwide for their appreciation of fine food and the dining experience. Students visiting France can expect to sample some of the world’s best cuisine and to share a culture that reveres beauty and respects the past.
