Sun kissed Nice, with its sparkling seas and Provençal pleasures, is more than simply the capital of the Cote D'Azur, it’s the fifth largest city in France and contains a wealth of fine architecture and culture.

Located on the Mediterranean coast, at the western end of the Riviera, Nice lies between the Alps and Italy's Gulf of Genoa. Nice boasts a plethora of ruins, museums, boutiques, and a hearty cafe culture. Cafes occupy weathered 17th and 18th century buildings; outdoor markets crowd the old town's streets and Venetian-style squares.

STUDENT FEEDBACK

"Teenagers Abroad was an amazing experience.

I have so many good memories from it. I made tons of friends that i still keep in contact with & I hope to go again next year. I thought it was a very good program that my child enjoyed. The website was very helpful."
Alexis S. (Age 16)

"A great opportunity to immerse in French culture and language while making new friends from all parts of the world.

General Impression: It was good. My first week was review of grammar (my strength) when my weakness is vocabulary. Pushed to get into the next level (which happened during week 2).

I learned so much the second week and wish I would have started my week 2 class on day one."
Lauren D. (age 16)
