Other Fun Activities
Students can participate in many activities during the study abroad in addition to events planned as part of the program. For example:- Hiking along the coast - Beaches in France are public properties, and paths exist throughout the coast for easy strolling or easy to moderate hikes.
- Hiking in the back country - The back country of France offers many hiking trails.
- Beach - Enjoy the beaches, some a walk away from where you stay, others only a short bus or train ride away.
- Snorkeling and scuba diving - Both Pierre et Vacances villages where we will stay are adjacent to marinas and ports, where students can plan snorkeling trips, scuba diving, sailing, or even fishing trips.
