Paris/Northern France: Beautiful in more ways than one Past Review
By Shelby C (Biomedical Engineering, University of Tennessee - Knoxville) for
ISA Study Abroad in Paris, France
The French quality of life is all about their history which is beautiful and extremely dramatic. However it is so fun to interact, shop, eat, appreciate life the way they do.
