Paris
Imagine spending two weeks in Europe's most beautiful and electrifying city, walking along La rivière Seine, visiting the cathedrals of Notre Dame and Sacré Coeur, strolling down the fashionable faubourg Ste Honoré or climbing to the top of la Tour Eiffel. We will visit the most famed museums in Paris- le Louvre, le Centre Georges Pompidou and le Musée d’Orsay - and explore the ancient quarters of le Marais. While staying at L’université de Paris in the heart of the city, students will quickly find the best croissants and crêpes in le Quartier latin.

Provence
Leaving the City of Light, we will head south to our base in Aix-en Provence.
From here, we will explore the region that inspired artists such as Cezanne and Van Gogh, with stops in the celebrated towns of Arles, Avignon, St. Remy, and Vaison-la-Romaine.

Villefranche-sur-Mer and St. Jean du Cap Ferrat
From Provence, we will head to Villefranche-sur-Mer and our residence overlooking the Mediterranean above Cap Ferrat. The light and atmosphere of the Mediterranean shores have inspired artists from Renoir to Matisse, who came to live, play, and delight in the ochre and pastel hues of the region. Our hotel features expansive terraces where we will take our meals, and a swimming pool overlooking the sea. Our afternoons and evenings will be spent basking in the atmosphere of the Riviera. With Nice just 10 minutes away, and Monaco just 15, we are literally in the heart of the action.
