Popular Study Abroad Programs in France

For students who are interested in studying abroad while learning or improving their French, Paris is an extremely popular study abroad destination and the famous ACCORD Paris Language  School in partnership with IKI-PGS and the CIA in Antibes offers many Study Abroad Programs in France.

Paris is a vibrant destination for study abroad students looking to study French before to continue their studies in France in architecture, art, fashion design, and more.

One of the advantages of building your own study abroad program is that you can select the type of French language course (intensive, semi-intensive, super-intensive) and its duration (from a few weeks to several months) according to YOUR needs and objectives. So, depending on your level of French, you can choose to come in the summer to follow a short-term program or during the year, on the date you want, to follow a course lasting several months. You choose your French course and you determine how long your program in France should last. Many universities and schools accept credit from these programs, even if their own study abroad department offers its own study abroad program as well.

Introducing… Musée de Montmartre

Introducing… Musée de Montmartre

Welcome back to the latest in our Introducing series where we give you an insight into the French capital’s best-known landmarks if it’s your first time here plus some quirky facts if you’ve been here before. This time we’re introducing you to the Musée de Montmartre, a hidden gem of a museum for those in the know! Ready to explore?

The museum

The Montmartre Museum was founded just a stone’s throw from the Sacré Coeur in one of the oldest buildings on the Butte Montmartre: the 17th century Maison du Bel Air. Its permanent exhibition takes you on a trip back in time through the history of Montmartre with a unique collection of posters, paintings, drawings and more. Find out how the mills and vineyards gradually disappeared to make way for urbanisation in the 19th century, before artists began to flock here for the local boho lifestyle and buzzing cabarets.

Visit a reconstruction of one of the artist’s studios from the neighbourhood’s heyday at the Musée de Montmartre. The designer Hubert le Gall has worked with well-known establishments to faithfully recreate the apartment/studio that Suzanne Valadon, Maurice Utrillo (Valadon’s son, painter) and André Utter (Valadon’s husband, painter) called home in the early 20th century. Soak up the atmosphere and picture the bohemian artists working and living together right here.

The grounds

The Musée de Montmartre grounds are a haven of peace in the heart of the bustling city. The museum is surrounded by three gardens named after Auguste Renoir. Why Renoir? Because he lived here between 1875 and 1877 and this is where he painted a few of his masterpieces: Le Bal du Moulin de la Galette, La Balancoire and Jardin de la rue Cortot. You can settle down for a bite to eat or a drink at Café Renoir either outside or inside as you gaze at views of the gardens and vineyard. If you fancy visiting the gardens for a bite to eat or a little stroll, it costs 5 Euros without museum admission. The gardens have been renovated according to Renoir’s paintings. They provide a good view of the vineyard, which has existed since the Middle Ages and was replanted in 1933.

A tip from ACCORD Paris: the Montmartre Grape Harvest Festival.

Introducing… the Père Lachaise Cemetery

Introducing… the Père Lachaise Cemetery

Welcome back to the latest in our Introducing series where we give you an insight into the French capital’s best-known landmarks if it’s your first time here plus some quirky facts if you’ve been here before. This time we’re introducing you to the Père Lachaise cemetery (Cimetière du Père-Lachaise), one of the biggest attractions in Paris and just 35 minutes on the metro from Accord language school! Ready to explore?

A bit of background

Not only is it the biggest cemetery in Paris at 44 hectares, it’s also the most visited cemeteries in the world with over 3.5 million visitors a year. It was opened in 1804 by Napoleon and is home to over 300,000 human remains. Père Lachaise has seen battle too with armed combat on two occasions: it was overrun by the Russians during the Napoleonic War in 1814 then 147 workers were killed here during the chaotic Paris Commune in 1871. You can actually see the bullet holes in the “Mur des Fédérés” commemorating the massacre.

Humble beginnings

The cemetery may be famous for being the final resting place for some of the world’s most famous names, but things didn’t start so well for Père Lachaise. It was thought to be too far away from the city so not many funerals were held here. It also hadn’t been blessed by the Church so many Roman Catholics refused to be buried here. That meant there were only 13 burials here in 1804 when it first opened. 1817 marked a turning point when the French authorities made the smart move of moving the remains of the famous 17th century playwright Molière and the fable writer Jean de la Fontaine to Père Lachaise. Although there is much debate about whether they really are buried here, the move saw flocks of Parisians request burial sites here and today’s there’s even a waiting list for a plot.

Dead famous

The cemetery is home to famous people and equally famous graves. Some of the tombstones are recognised as “historical monuments” so have listed status. It’s like being in a museum! One of the famous names is Jim Morrison from The Doors, who is buried here and watched over by a security guard since his bust was stolen. Another is Oscar Wilde whose tomb is covered in lipstick and even a glass barrier can’t stop visitors from kissing the stone! Keep an eye out for Louis-Sébastien Gourlot’s grieving widow… you can’t miss her (she’s painted gold!). Cemeteries can be creepy places and Père Lachaise is no stranger to the macabre: the Raspal family mausoleum has the Grim Reaper trying to get in through the window whilst the Robertson family tomb is all winged skulls and creepy owls. You’ve been warned!

Notable figures in the arts buried at Père Lachaise include Colette, Frédéric Chopin, Édith Piaf, Marcel Proust, Georges Méliès, Marcel Marceau, Sarah Bernhardt, Georges Bizet, Sir Richard Wallace… and many more.

Visitor information

You can pick up a free map at the Conservation Centre at the cemetery’s entrance so you can find your way around the maze-like landmark and visit the famous tombs. Entrance is free and the cemetery is open all year round. Please remember that this is a cemetery so no picnics, jogging, alcohol or anything deemed disrespectful is allowed here. Your closest metro stops are Père Lachaise and Gambetta.
