Description: This program immerses our students in the numerous attractions of Nice, the Cote d'Azur and Provence. Located on the Mediterranean just 25 miles from the Italian border, Nice is an excellent base for discovering Cannes, Monaco, Eze and the remarkable small towns of Italy. Faculty-led excursions feature the Archeological and Matisse museums, the Roman ramparts of Antibes, the medieval walled village of Saint-Paul de Vence, the fabled Golden Corniche, an olive oil tasting in a 13th century mill, a wine tasting at a traditional vineyard, a visit to Les Gorges de Verdun (the Grand Canyon of France) and a day exploring fishing villages and artist colonies.

Participants stay in studio apartments in a modern residential facility centrally located near the lively Vieux Nice historical district, which runs right along the Mediterranean Sea. Linens, towels and cleaning are provided by the residence and MSU has stockpiled dishes, cookware and fans. Participants may prepare their own meals.

Highlights: Participants choose among the following course combinations: Mediterranean Civilization (taught in English and required for undergraduates), French language study (from elementary to advanced levels), courses taught in French on cultural themes, and a studio art course incorporating impressions of the rich traditions of 18th and 20th century artists working in the region such as Picasso and Matisse. Undergraduate and graduate credit available.
