Spend a semester abroad in Paris, mastering French and diving into art, science, and café culture. Picture yourself in Paris — café tables spilling onto cobblestone streets, the Eiffel Tower glowing against the night sky, and centuries of history layered into every boulevard. Live with a French host family, build friendships in a close-knit cohort, and immerse yourself in Parisian life. You’ll have plenty of time to make Paris your own, from late-afternoon picnics by the Seine to finding “your” café for morning chocolat chaud. Take excursions to history-rich Normandy, the soaring abbey of Mont Saint-Michel, and the walled port town of Saint-Malo. Your semester will leave you speaking French with confidence and ready to take on college with a fresh sense of independence and possibility....
Program Highlights
You’ll begin your semester in London, spending the first three weeks with fellow students in CIEE’s Global Gateway Academy.
In Paris, you’ll take in-person classes like Smart Cities, Mixed Media Arts, and French Language & Culture alongside online courses through ASU Prep Global.
French immersion happens naturally through day-to-day life, community engagement, and conversations with your very own language buddy.
Foster friendships that last a lifetime with fellow students and your host family.
Ride to the top of the Eiffel Tower, attend a street art workshop in Bercy Skate Park, venture Paris's shadowy catacombs, and so much more!
