Summer French Studies Program in Paris

The City

One of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, Paris is a sophisticated, multi-cultural center for the arts, intellectual discourse, and of course, gastronomy. With the river Seine and famous boulevards criss-crossing the city, Paris is made up of twenty arrondissements, each with its own unique character. Reid Hall is in the lively Montparnasse (sixth) district of Paris, near the Luxembourg Gardens and within walking distance of the Latin Quarter and several branches of the University of Paris. While at Reid Hall, students will have countless opportunities to absorb the lessons of Paris and the Parisians.

The Program
