French Study Abroad Programs in France

I had such an amazing experience in Nantes. I met new friends who I can't imagine living without now and we explored the city together for 4 months and had so much fun. From trying new restaurants to buying gifts for secret santa at the christmas market to getting drinks at the 'chat noir' bar and gossiping together. I can't express my gratitude to IES enough for bringing me such amazing friends who I got to experience such a great city with.

I am from Mexico and I had always dreamt about learning French and visiting Paris, thanks to this program I was able to live in the city of my dreams while I was studying this beautiful languange. I had great teachers, I had the opportunity to attend to very interesting conferences in which I learnt more about French culture and I made some good friends with whom I still talk from time to time. Being a student in this program allowed me to get a student visa and to access all the benefits that the French goverment provides for students: social security, access to university restaurants, aid for paying my rent... At the end of the program I was able to get the DELF B2. It was a beautiful experience for me and thanks to what I learnt I was able to get a job as French teacher here in my country.
