Two Worlds United Programs in France for High School Students
Spend a
year, semester or summer in France and see the heart of the
Europe.
In
France the
places have a long and rich history, beautiful landscapes, and a
complex, compelling culture. If France were simply Paris, or
Provence, or Burgundy, or the Côte d'Azur, it would still be an
enticing destination. However, France is all these things and
more, a profusion of many small worlds, each exploding with
epiphanies of beauty, bounties of great food, and an
unbelievable historic and artistic record that begins with cave
painters and continues through to François Mitterrand's
architectural bequest to Paris, the Grands Projets.
France is also unique in its people. The intensely proud French
never doubt that they live at the center of the civilized world.
This self-assurance can seem disconcerting to the traveler who
skims along the surface of the culture. But after a few days in
Paris, or after a quiet tour through the provinces, it's easier
to grant the French the benefit of the doubt. In fact, long
after you've seen the museums and the monuments, you'll find
yourself wanting to return to France, simply to be with the
French people in that sometimes peculiar parallel universe known
as France. |
