European Studies in Tours
In Tours, old-world charm meets a new-world order. You can
go from sipping coffee in the medieval square to watching
local farmers and students protest the over-development of
the countryside. It’s the perfect place to get a sneak peek
at the emerging European Union. But don’t forget you’re in France! You’ll participate in a
seminar exploring French culture through such topics as
French media, language, and wine and cheese production—
including field trips around Tours and to the local
châteaux. The program also includes a longer trip to
Strasbourg, the seat of the European Parliament.
