For centuries, France has inspired the imagination of those who value learning, culture and enlightenment.  No single city represents this more than Paris, the "city of light."  It has drawn countless  seekers from abroad, Madame Curie, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Chopin, Samuel Beckett, Hemingway, to name a few.   The rich intellectual and artistic history of Paris touches the visitor at every step.  To have lived in Paris, even for a semester, is to have in some small way been a part of its great legacy to Western civilization. 

The ELI program in Paris will provide you this opportunity.   Through the study portion you will learn more about France, both current and past, and through the internship program, you will be plunged into French culture through your daily interaction with your colleagues.  You will be one of the lucky people to have seen Paris from the inside.
