Program Description:

A city of artists and students, Aix-en-Provence is one of France’s most elegant, sophisticated and vibrant communities. A perfect location for high school students looking to spend a summer abroad in France, Aix, also known as “Little Paris,” is famous for its summer arts festival, thriving café scene and its many restaurants, boutiques, museums and galleries. Aix is also a delight for enthusiasts of architecture, with great examples of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and 18th-century representations. Sculpted doorways and wrought-iron balconies are found in the various monuments, churches, fountains and park squares of this beautiful city.

Our French immersion program in Aix-en-Provence is an authentic and rewarding pre-college study abroad experience for high school students. The Aix-en-Provence summer language immersion program is perfect for intermediate and advanced students looking to improve their French with the option of taking advanced courses at the local Université de Provence, for the chance to receive college credit. The Aix-en-Provence residential immersion program encourages and facilitates the use of French through daily interaction and classes, activities and excursions. All Abbey Road faculty and staff who live with the students are fluent in French, and most are native speakers. We encourage our students to speak French at all times and to take advantage of the multitude of cultural offerings made available to them.
