FRANCE
Mid-May thru June

 

The University of Alabama will be conducting its 35th consecutive summer program in France, from May 18 to June 21, 2008. The
Alabama in France program features a week-long excursion in Paris followed by four weeks of concentrated study in Tours
(while living with a French family). In Paris and Tours, participants will be immersed in the language and culture of France. Exposure to the language and culture reinforce each other, resulting in an optimal learning experience.
