CIEE High School Summer in Paris, France: French Language & Culture Recently Updated

Live like a Parisian and practice your skills in a language spoken by more than 100 million people!

Dive into the richness of French with four weeks of language immersion in France’s capital. After language classes, engage in French conversations in the bustling, cobblestone streets of the Latin Quarter, at the hilltop neighborhood of Montmartre, and on visits to iconic landmarks like the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. Catch the sounds of traditional French folk music from street musicians, window-shop outside Bohemian boutiques, and meet Parisian locals, too. The city’s many cafés, bookstores, markets, and parks all become backdrops to an authentic local experience.

Living with a host family, share French meals each day and deepen your understanding of local customs and traditions. On weekends, go on excursions to Versailles to visit the palace and its picturesque gardens and discover medieval village of Provins with its fortified ramparts. By immersing yourself in French culture and everyday life, you will not only level up your French, but you’ll also get to enjoy the country the way Parisians do.
