Adventure Awaits!
As part of your semester in Paris you will have the opportunity to take part in the following excursions to get to know the culture and area better:
Paris City Tour (with visits to the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, Montmartre, and outdoor marchets)
What can one say that hasn’t already been said about the Eiffel Tower? It may very well be the most iconic building in all of France!
The Palace of Versailles
This incredible palace in the wealthy suburb of Versailles is truly a sight to behold. Louis XIV moved the royal family from the heart of Paris to here in 1682. From that point until the French Revolution, this was the seat of the French Monarch. It serves as a reminder of the Ancien Regime who once governed France under an absolute monarchy, although the current Fifth Republic fully endorses the palace as one of the finest tourist attractions in the country.
Fontainebleau
The small town of Fontainebleau is home to the scenic forest of Fontainebleau, a French national park. It is also renowned for the historical Château de Fontainebleau, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful castles in France. Read more about Fontainebleau from Lonely Planet here.
Additionally, as an exclusive on this program you will have the opportunity to take part in a long weekend excursion to the Côte d’Azur! See the sights and sounds of one of Europe’s most popular coastal destinations filled with history, art, great cuisine, and local culture.
This excursion weekend is included for Institut Catholique de Paris (ICP) students, and is an optional add-on for Paris School of Business (PSB) students! PSB students, please contact your Program Coordinator for more information on signing up.
