Short-Term Study Programs in France

 

Classes are held in the village of Les Cerqueux Sous Passavant which is located in the Loire Valley.

Countless chateaus, caves and hidden treasures from Gobeline tapestries to Richard the Lionheart's tomb are close by. The ocean is 1 1/2 hours away and Paris (by train) is approx. 2 hours away.

Students have a variety of housing possibilities. French Gites which are clean, comfortable and excellent private little houses are one form. Living with French families in our village or on a farm like Auberge ( hotel), or staying in our local Chateau Colbert are some other favorites. Rates are anywhere from $350.00 (euros) for a room in shared student houses - up to $800.00- $1500.00 for private houses and hotels.

Please Note: For simplicity we are using a $=Euros exchange


Please fill out our Housing Questionaire if you are Registering for a class.
Car Rentals
 

Students definitely need access to a car. We have worked for fifteen years with the same company. We will help you to either rent a car personally, or rent one with a group of other students. GROUP CAR COSTS: ($200.00) approximately.

Travel to the Village
 The TGV train leaves from Charles DeGaulle Airport, or Paris Gare Montparnasse, destination ANGERS and takes 1 1/2 hours. Price approx. 80 Euros. It takes approx. 3 hours if you are traveling by car, from Paris, directly to our village.
What to Bring
 In general, you should pack light. Wash and wear clothing should suffice for the class. Make sure that you bring along a sweater for cool nights and a rain poncho for the occasional summer rains.
