Why Study In France

Known for its rich culture and history, France is becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
From art to fashion to food, France offers something for everyone, visitor and native alike. Those who enjoy the outdoors can visit the lavender fields in the north, comb through the vines in the wine country, or enjoy the beautiful coastal views along the Mediterranean. In addition to the idyllic landscapes, tourists flock to iconic structures such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre.
There is plenty to explore within France, but it is also an ideal location for those who wish to see more of Europe. Sharing borders with Spain, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Andorra and, Monaco, it is easy to visit neighboring countries. Travel by bus, train and plane within Europe can be surprisingly affordable and the use of the Euro as currency makes it easy to transition between countries.
