Students have 20 hours of class per week. That leaves 148 hours to study, eat, sleep, get to know your French family, shop, swim, hike, bike Annecy s location in the French Alps and on the shores of Lake Annecy provides ample opportunity to enjoy the mountain air. Visit the chateau overlooking the city, practice your French comprehension at a cinema, and investigate the old prison on the canal. There is much to explore and enjoy in Annecy once studies have been attended to. Tufts in Annecy also arranges a number of exciting daylong excursions that are offered on the weekends and are available at a nominal fee.
Students pay only for the activities in which they wish to participate.
Each year, activity choices depend on student interest. Trains run from Annecy to all points in France. The registration deadline is April 15. Students are encouraged to apply well in advance of the deadline as registrations are reviewed on an on-going basis. Late registrations will be considered provided that additional housing is available.
