We Miss you, Students, at Spring Time in France

Tours Ideas for students

The COVID-19 virus pandemic has made your school or university to postpone your trip to the end of this year or same time next year in 2021.

But as French education institutions especially schools open up yesterday on 11th May 2020, our exchange students here in France have already started missing you during this wonderful spring season in France.

Many of our partner schools & universities in France are situated in & around Lyon including the Alps city of Grenoble where the season of spring is on a dance with exotic flowers & green plants splashing these regions with the painting of God.

Lyon is a beautiful city at any time of year, but when spring is in full bloom you’re treated with so many freshness of nature coupled with majestic monuments & their inspiring history. For our Indian partner school students visiting us from India, an early may morning is a real treat, where we usually conduct our long walking heritage tours enabling them to enjoy stunning panoramic views of the city. And that’s just the start. The architectural marvels of Lyon – from preserved Renaissance alleyways to contemporary concert halls – just keep on coming, and the lengthening days and warmer weather create the perfect environment of natural learning, discovery & sharing among young global citizens of the world.

Here are some of the pictures of springtime which students can expect next time they are here on an exchange program or SAP program.
