Spend the summer of 2019 immersed in the exquisite French culture. This France study abroad program is designed for students seeking to study French. Students will spend two weeks in Tours, located in the heart of the Loire Valley, immersed in French culture at the world-known language Institute of Touraine. Classes are offered at all levels and are taught by French professors five days a week.
Students will be housed with local families to allow them not only to immerse themselves in the Francophone culture (breakfasts and dinners will be shared, customs and traditions applied, etc…) but also to embark on a journey of French language learning through speaking, reading, listening and writing. Host families, conveniently located at a walking distance from the Institute, provide excellent quality of accommodations and services to students. Afternoons and the weekend will be dedicated to various excursions: visits to museums, monuments, Chenonceau and Chambord royal castles as well as Leonard di Vinci’s , etc..
After Tours, we will be spending 4 days in Paris visiting famous sites such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame cathedral. The “City of Lights” will also be discovered through a cruise on the Seine river.
