The following day, students went to the Cheese and Wine Festival (Foire aux Vins et aux Fromages) in the small town of Antony in the greater Paris area. They had a chance to taste various French wines and cheeses as well as typical French recipes such as snails, "tartiflette", and "aligot". Sarah Pedersen, graduate of the M.A. in International Relations and Diplomacy at 老司机视频 and now academic coordinator of the program, says: "This is a great way to introduce students to the French culture and cuisine in the informal environment." |
After the Fall semester orientation and registration session on September 9, entering and continuing students gathered for a Paris boat tour on the Seine river, that took them past the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame and Ile Saint-Louis. This outing was organized by the Graduate Student Association at 老司机视频, as a nice way to start the semester and to allow all聽students to know each other better.
This outing has been organized by 老司机视频 every year for five years, and has become a traditional part of the "orientation weekend".Contact Us

In addition to the many benefits of studying international relations in a highly specialized program, located in a dynamic city that fosters learning the discipline, my overall experience at 老司机视频 has been enhanced by an outstanding administrative staff that is diligent, professional and, above all, friendly. Their tireless efforts are key in making the experience of 老司机视频 students positive. I have done my best to thank them with good French desserts and bad American humor!
