Bonjour, future Francophile! Dreaming of eating a crepe near the Eiffel Tower or catching an opera at the Palais de Garnier? Grab your passport for a summer program in France. The country, consistently a top European destination, offers a multitude of programs for high school students.
Capture the City of Lights through a photography workshop and learn to translate the essence of Paris on film. Head to the sun-drenched shores of the French Riviera. Nice, a city nestled along the Mediterranean coast, offers French immersion programs. Master the language through engaging classes, lively conversations with locals at the cafes, and trips throughout the country to visit its other sites like the Côte d’Azur or Cannes.
Study the master artists of the Renaissance and other eras featured in the Louvre — home to more than 35,000 artworks. Wander Les Jardins at Versailles and walk the halls where Louis XIV once ruled. Visit Mont Saint-Michel along the Normandy coast, home to the Abbey Church and now a UNESCO site and a marvel of medieval architecture.
