Visit France: Business & Culture

Paris, France's capital, is a major European city and a global center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture. For centuries, Paris has attracted artists from around the world, arriving in the city to educate themselves and to seek inspiration from its artistic resources and galleries.

During this 10-day program students will be immersed into the French language, culture and history. Led by our expert local guide the group will visit some of the main attractions including the Louvre Museum, and Versailles Palace. The students will have the opportunity to learn about some of the focal points in the France culture: fashion, wine industry, and the freedom of expression. The study abroad experience will bring educational value and lifetime memories.

This trip is intended for: This trip is open to Isothermal students, faculty and staff, as well as members of the community, age 18 or older at the time of travel. Anyone under age 18 as of Oct. 11, 2024 is ineligible to attend.
