With ESA, you'll never be bored! We have a wide range of activities that will help you to see the sites, understand the culture and explore on your own.

Walking Tours
Our walking tours will help you get to know Paris-- and its history-- better! Both faculty and professional guides will explore the Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Latin Quarter areas, showing you hidden gems and telling you the stories of the neighborhoods.
Some walking tours will have a French option (adapted for intermediate to advanced learners of the language).
Weekend in Normandy
& Excursions
Unlike many other programs, ESA includes the cost of a three day weekend trip and two day-long excursions in your fees.
This year's weekend trip will be to Normandy and our day trips will include the impressive medieval Pierrefonds Castle and the capital of the Champagne region, Reims.
