Description

Paris is one of Europe's most culturally diverse and arts rich cities, making for an enriching and varied summer experience. Experience Paris city life alongside Parisiens and other international students, absorbing the language and culture both at work and play. There will be opportunities to explore the city's many attractions and to travel to regions such as Normandy, the Loire valley and even to the south at weekends.

Central's summer program in Paris offers students of every language level the opportunity to learn - or even improve - their language skills while experiencing first-hand the diverse art collections of one of the world's leading cultural centers. Classes run Monday through Friday with two sessions per day. Mornings sessions focus on learning and practicing spoken and written French. Afternoons are dedicated to learning about the city's glorious art and monuments, looking at examples from Gothic to the modern period with regular visits to the galleries, museums and buildings that adorn Frances capital.
