Program Location

lasalle beauvais 2The “Grandes Ecoles” are unique to France. They were created in the late 18th century in order to offer outstanding scientific education to the country’s future engineers. LaSalle Beauvais, founded in 1854, belongs to this tradition. Studying on our campus will not only give you access to excellence in education; you will also have the opportunity to live in the country that invented “savoir-vivre”, the art of living well! The Picardy region, home of LaSalle Beauvais, is well known for its beautiful villages and its inspiring Gothic cathedrals. Known for its gastronomy, wines and cheeses, France is a large country of amazing geographical variety. You will meet people who are proud of their cultural heritage, their lovely countryside, and their quiet towns and fine restaurants.

Program Reviews:
Katharine Michelle Barry, Summer 2017 Participant
The excursions were amazing. We were able to go to a baking school, famous kitchens in Paris, a garden in Versailles, and a dairy farm.

Summer 2017 Participant
Learning about the idiosyncrasies of French cuisine from actual chefs exceeds anything you'll ever learn from those generic French cookbooks.

Katharine Michelle Barry, Summer 2017 Participant
I needed to go to the doctor my first week in France, and it was easy to use the CISI app on my phone to find doctors in the area. I ended up going to a doctor not listed on the CISI app, but the doctor gave me all of the information I needed to fill out a claim form that I submitted once I returned home.

Testimonial:
I know I want to work more with sustainable agriculture and emphasize the from-farm-to-plate movement. I still want to help people in their journey towards healthier lifestyle and body positivity but I love to cook and I love to plant vegetables. So as of right now, I can do whatever I want by juxtaposing agriculture and cuisine with dietetics. Its new!
