Central in France: Paris and Annecy

Travel to France with us and discover why this country is the most popular tourist destination in the world! This uniquely designed program provides you with a comprehensive experience of France. You learn about and enjoy the beautiful city of Paris for seven days and spend four additional days in the beautiful town of Annecy (East of France). We also experience a daytrip to Geneva, Switzerland.

During the 7-day stay in Paris, students embark on a historical tour of the city, a cruise on the Seine River, and guided visits to world class museums and landmarks, such as the Eifel Tower, the Palace of Versailles (most beautiful castle in the world), the MusĂ©e du Louvre, Montmartre, etc. Students travel to Giverny (in Normandy) to visit the beautiful garden of renown painter Claude Monet. This garden includes the famous Japanese Bridge, the Water Lily Pound, Monet’s Garden, house (a museum), and more. Students experience the famous Parisian cafĂ©s and attend and enjoy live festivities, such as parade of Bastille Day (on July 14). Students also have free time to enjoy the city of Paris (the City of Lights).  

Next, our trip takes us to the beautiful city of Annecy (Southeastern France), nicknamed The Venice of the Alps. Annecy sits by a beautiful lake with crystal clear water, and is only 45minnutes from Geneva, Switzerland. In addition to cultural and historical tours of the region, students experience water activities (swimming, kayak, pedal boat, etc.), musical festivities, the regional cuisine, and more. We travel to Geneva, Switzerland for a day visit.  

Our trip ends with a free day back to Paris prior to our departure on the following day. Enjoy a once in a lifetime experience at an affordable price.
