Best Cities for Teens
Some high school programs in France will take you throughout various locations across the countryside, so you will not have to settle down in one city. These exploration programs can be a great way to experience many different aspects of the country while learning all about French life and culture from a variety of viewpoints.
Paris is the obvious first choice for many looking for a city-rooted experience. France’s capital is the largest urban area in the European Union, a leading global city with immense influence in culture, economics, and politics, and, most important of all, the home of France’s greatest football club, Paris Saint-Germain.
The opportunities to study in France reach much deeper than Paris though. Cities such as Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, and Nice are some of the other most popular destinations in the country. It is possible to live in any of these places for an extended period of time through a high school program in France, and each offers a smaller, less globalized feel than Paris. These are only naming a few of the possible locations for high school program in France, but really the whole country is wide open because there are so many high school programs available in France.
