Did you know?

Paris has more libraries than any other city in the world — over 830!

In France and Belgium, students stay in a mix of centrally located hotels and welcoming local hostels that combine comfort, safety, and cultural immersion. Whether in a quiet French village or vibrant Belgian town, these stays offer more than a place to rest — they create space for group connection, reflection, and an authentic slice of European life.

In Belgium, stand in silence at Tyne Cot Cemetery or attend the Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate. In France, walk Omaha Beach at sunrise or descend into a WWI trench preserved in its original state. These moments anchor learning in experience — powerful, unforgettable, and deeply human.

Modern culture in Belgium and France is shaped by a shared history of resilience and reinvention. France celebrates liberté through its fashion, food, and intellectual legacy, while Belgium offers a rich mix of Dutch, French, and German influences. Together, they form a cultural crossroads where history meets modern European identity — one croissant, café, and comic strip at a time.

Balance history with modern-day life. Students can sample traditional crêpes in Paris, visit a chocolaterie in Belgium, or enjoy a quiet moment of reflection in the gardens of Giverny. These restful pauses create space for students to connect, process, and appreciate the cultures they’ve stepped into.
