The French and Humanities Study Abroad Program involves an extended 9-night stay in Paris, where we will familiarize ourselves with the city’s many resources (subway, museums, parks, markets, monuments, neighborhoods) and nearby (Versailles; Monet’s home and gardens in Giverny; Brittany) using public transportation. We will observe some of the preparations for the Summer 2024 Olympics that begin in July. Then we take the high-speed train to France’s oldest city, Marseilles, for another 5 days to explore Provence (southern France), take a ferry to the Chateau d ‘If in the Mediterranean, and follow the footsteps of the painters Cezanne and Van Gogh in Arles and Aix-en Provence.
