School in Paradise

Even school in South France is better than school in Utah. Granted, a significant amount of this difference is attributed to the incredible city, the vivant culture of the area, and les belles plages, but the culture of education makes the largest difference. At Actilangue, we study alongside other students from many different countries, with many different backgrounds. In some instances, the only way to speak with these students is through the French language. I have learned a significant amount since I made it to Nice, mostly due to the assistance of the professors and the overall culture of education. My only regret is that I cannot finish my French Minor out here over the next year. The professors of the school lead excursions at least twice a week, which helps us to learn much more about the significance of the culture and landmarks here and further our knowledge of the French language and culture. Thus far we have made the tour of Nice, Cagnes-Sur-Mer, and the Principality of Monaco.
Books purchased primarily in Paris and at Le Festival du Livres de Nice.
The Alps from Cagnes-Sur-Mer.
The second smallest country in the world: Monaco.
