SUMMER STUDY IN PARIS
ESA ACTIVITIES
In addition to our French language classes and civilization program, ESA offers the richest, most varied program of activities of any university program, all included in our basic program fee:
    Evening cultural activities.  Of course, what exactly we will be doing depends on what is available, but usually we are able to offer your choice of 
    • an evening at the opera 
    • a ballet (usually in the Palais Garnier of Phantom of the Opera fame)
    • a classical concert, perhaps in the stunning medieval Sainte Chapelle
    • a modern French play (Ionesco’s La cantatrice chauve is a definite possibility.)
    • a classical French play, maybe a comedy by Molière at the Comédie Française, the theater he founded over 300 years ago
    Two of these activities are included in your program fee.  If space is available you may of course purchase additional tickets.

    Guided visits in Paris including the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Musée Rodin, les Invalides and Napoléon’s tomb, and much more!

    A weekend in Brittany.  Two nights in historic Saint-Malo with visits to Mont Saint-Michel, the medieval town of Dinan, and Bayeux to attend a medieval festival and see the renowned Bayeux tapestry.  Our hotel overlooks the ancient walls of the city and, beyond, the English channel.  Transportation, entries, accommodations and a banquet dinner are included.

    Weekend Excursions. 
    Normandy: a one-day visit to Giverny (Claude Monet’s home) and Rouen
    Fontainebleau and Vaux-le-Vicomte
    Louis XIV’s Palais de Versailles
