Hello France
France is a country for artists, romantics, and foodies. Of course, it has incredible wine, cheese, croissants and baguettes! But it’s so much more than that because of the way so many cultures meet: in France you can enjoy music and food from all over the world.
Besides all the other great cities and small towns, if you come to study in France, consider studying in Paris. It’s possibly the most beautiful city in the world. Studying here is a privilege - make the most of it! Or maybe even Lille, named the coolest city in France thanks to its young population of over 100,00 students!

Paris
The river, the museums, the cuisine, the Eiffel Tower - studying in Paris is an unforgettable adventure. Not to mention all the croissants, baguettes and pains au chocolat you can have to cure your hangover after a French wine-fuelled night out along the Seine.
In Paris, students get a chance to enrich themselves culturally like nowhere else in the world. Every first Sunday of the month, most state-run museums are free for students. However, you’ll have to practice your French while you’re here, as the Parisians much prefer you to address them in their native language.
You can be sure of one thing: after your semester in Paris, you will have fallen in love with the city of love!
