Student Exchange program at University of Tours, France
Study in Tours, the capital of the Touraine region in the Loire River Valley, land of castles and chateaus. Just one hour from Paris by speed train, Tours is the perfect place to settle in for a semester or two and steep yourself in the rich history, language, and culture of France. With a pedestrian-friendly city center, a majestic Gothic cathedral, sidewalk cafes and the beautiful Loire River, Tours is a great option for students who want to improve their French and expand their horizons.
