I learned the differences in cultural norms between the United States and France. I would say it was worthwhile because it really shows how things can be so difference from one country to the next. - Community College of Vermont View Entire Review
Attending The Experiment trip gave me a good sense of the reality in a different country. I got to meet my groupmates, my host family, and even random people who became friends. My group mates were really good and fun. My host family was amazing. I got to see how the typical small town in France is and I met their family members... - Radnor High School View Entire Review

About

Discover the richness of France through its diverse cultures and regions—from Paris to a border community.


Begin your journey in Paris, the “City of Light,” where you’ll explore iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and Champs-Élysées, while sampling French cuisine in charming cafés. Immerse yourself in the city’s rich history and vibrant culture as you gain a deeper understanding of France’s identity.


Experience authentic French daily life during a 9-day homestay in a small town near France’s northern or southern border. Share meals, explore local sites, and connect with your host family to discover the traditions and rhythms of regional French culture.


Continue your adventure with an excursion tailored to your group. In the north, visit Colmar, known for its fairy-tale architecture and French-German heritage. In the south, explore Lyon, France’s gastronomic capital, and the Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie.


Conclude your program back in Paris with a French baking workshop, creating classic madeleines as you reflect on your unforgettable journey through France’s landscapes, flavors, and diverse cultures.
