Program Highlights
With a CIEE Immersion in France program, you’ll experience what daily life is really like for your peers in the largest — and most diverse — country in Europe.

You’ll advance your French language skills through intensive study and casual conversation, and build practical, real-world skills that will serve you in college and beyond.
Get a feel for regional slang and build your vocabulary by chatting with local shop owners, neighbors, and friends of your homestay.
