From haute couture fashion in Paris to the beach and cinema scene in Cannes to snowboarding in the French Alps, a High School Year in France has it all.
Joie de vivre
Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, these three words are a good introduction to understanding this historical nation. The French love life, good food, good friends and fun celebrations. On your student exchange in France, you will experience the French’s passion for life as you make new friends and learn French.
The French love people
French people are fun and welcoming. Whether you are attending an art
exhibition in Paris, learning to surf in the Atlantic Ocean or sharing a meal with your host family, you will soon be part of the crowd.
Be French for a year
France is a diverse and vibrant society, a society at the cutting edge of fashion and trends with deep history and traditions. You can find yourself in exciting cities such as Nice, Marseille and Strasbourg, or you might enjoy nature and outdoor activities in the mountains, on the beach or in the countryside. Few European countries offer so many opportunities. Here are just a few things you might do during your high school exchange in France:
- Watch Ligue 1 soccer in Lyon, home of Olympique Lyonnais
- Stroll along the world-famous fashion street, Champs-Elysees, in Paris
- Check out popular bands at the Les Eurockéennes festival near Belfort
- Go mountain biking in the French Alps
- Visit trendy beaches and learn to surf in Biarritz
