Setting Description:

Located just west of Nice, the southern beach village of St-Laurent-du-Var offers the best of both worlds: It is centrally located along the French Riviera but remains off the beaten path of mass tourism. St-Laurent is an authentic French community, with the distinct charm of a comfortable, relaxed town. It offers our students the opportunity to experience the real, everyday southern French lifestyle and culture. Because of St-Laurent’s proximity to Nice, students will have several opportunities each week to visit this vibrant city and take advantage of everything the popular Riviera capital has to offer: the lively Promenade, world-class museums, an attractive shopping district and the exciting Old Town. St-Laurent is an ideal program for those students who are interested in advanced French language study and a rewarding homestay experience.
