There are many things throughout the world that we do to remember their culture. It brings up the question, why is it ...
by Grant T. For the past few days, we have been on many trips to Nice and also to St. Tropez. For the whole day on Sunday, we got to tour and discover all of St. Tropez. It is a city with a lot of history and a beautiful layout. The city sits right on the Mediterranean and is very old. We had pretty much the whole day to do whatever we wanted. ...
by Andrew B. This weekend was full of travel and awesome excursions. We experienced the full Côte d’Azur by traveling to both Cannes and Sanremo, a beautiful town in Liguria. We woke up late Saturday and got ready for our long voyage to Sanremo, Italy. Arriving in Sanremo around noon, we decided to go straight to an Italian pizza restaurant ...
by Lana Epstein It's been almost three weeks since the beginning of the program. With only one week to go, I feel that my knowledge of the French language and culture has significantly improved. Classes have been the perfect mix of fun and educational and the excursions in the afternoons and on the weekends have been amazing. In the past three ...
by Clare B. On Tuesday this week we took an afternoon trip to Ville Franche and went snorkeling along the coast. The weather was beautiful and the water was so clear that we got to see lots of little fish (and jellyfish too) swimming below us! We spent Thursday afternoon in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a town close to Nice that is surrounded by ...
by Andrew B. This week was my favorite yet. I particularly enjoyed this week’s combination of French language immersion with frequent cultural experiences. Monday July 14th, better known here in France as le quatorze juillet, was spent enjoying the day’s festivities as well as learning about its historical importance. This national day, ...
by Riley H. To kick off this blog, shall we start with something sweet? This week our group took a trip to the Puyricard Chocolate factory. It was beautiful. Watching how they delicately craft each individual chocolate would make the task seem tedious but is surprisingly calm and relaxing. Of course, a benefit of visiting a chocolate factory, ...
by Grant T. So far in the first two weeks we have had probably at least eight trips to a beach. We've travelled to beaches in Antibes, Cannes, Cagnes-sur-mer, the beach here in St. Laurent, Ville Franche, and a couple others that I forget the names of. Going to the beach has been a ton of fun because everybody in the group enjoys being around ...
by Katie E. This week has been filled with learning about authentic French culture. Theater, movies, and chocolate, could life get any sweeter? We stayed out late on Wednesday night to go to the Café Théâtre where we saw a small scale reproduction of Un Petit Jeu Sans Consequences while in an underground theater. Thursday was spent at the ...
by Lauren F. It is hard to believe that my time here is half over! These last two weeks have gone by so fast but I have been having a great time! On Tuesday, we were able to sleep in as we did not have to meet until 2:00. I was exhausted from Bastille day so I slept until 1:00, which was much needed. We had our elective classes--mine is ...
