Learning a foreign language is an exciting experience opening up new horizons on both a cultural and professional level. The best way of achieving greater fluency in the language is to spend time abroad in the native country. In this goal, the French-American Exchange has established Semester and Academic Year Programs in Aix-en-Provence, Montpellier, Nice, Paris and Tours.
Our programs are specifically designed for independent travelers who enjoy the freedom to discover foreign cultures at their own pace. Our study abroad programs are best suited for university students seeking college credit.
