January Term in Tours, France

Tours

Each January, Hollins offers the option of a three-week intensive French language experience at the Institut de Touraine. Students at any level of French, including beginners, may enroll. Students accepted to the program must be in good academic and disciplinary standing to participate.

The Institut de Touraine is affiliated with l'Université de Tours and is located in Tours, a charming city in the Loire Valley. Classes meet for about 20 hours per week, and the Institut organizes various walking tours during the month to introduce you to the city and also plans a bus tour to some of the chateaux in the area. There is a small fee for the bus tour; the walking tours are free.
