Discover Avignon
Avignon is situated in Provence, less than fifty miles from the Mediterranean. Within its walls stand one of the most remarkable complexes of fourteenth-century architecture in France, dating back to the period when Avignon was the seat of the Papacy and supplanted Rome as the capital of Christendom. Each summer Avignon hosts the Festival d'Avignon, the world largest theater festival.
Living in AvignonActivities
Field trips in and around Avignon are an enjoyable part of the program, and offer students a chance to experience cultural immersion.
