World Language and Cultures Students Travel to France
Annual trips offered by Archmere include the French Exchange Program, a global opportunity for students to immerse themselves into the French world, live with host families, and spend two weeks touring and enjoying the richness of French culture. From June 3–16, twelve Archmere students and two teachers traveled to France to take part in an exchange program with our partner school, Lycée Saint Vincent, located in Senlis. This trip was a continuation of the exchange that began in February, when students from Saint Vincent visited and stayed with Archmere families.
During their time in France, Archmere students lived with host families, gaining an authentic and immersive experience of French family life and culture. In addition to attending school, they explored Paris and several nearby towns and landmarks.
Some highlights of the trip included:
• Visiting the newly restored Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris • Touring the world-renowned Louvre Museum • Getting an up-close view of the Eiffel Tower • Exploring the historic towns of Senlis, Amiens, Chantilly, and Compiègne • Taking part in Saint Vincent’s annual field day • Touring the D-Day beaches of Normandy • Visiting the iconic Mont Saint Michel
The trip was an unforgettable experience filled with learning, cultural exchange, and meaningful connections. Our students returned with lasting memories—and a deeper appreciation for French culture.
