Nice - Cannes













Students were not immune to the powers of the Mediterranean sun which have caused many others before our arrival to fall in love with it. The energy was plentiful as everyone took in all the beauty that the French Riviera had to offer. From Nice's marchés and tasteful architecture to Cannes' world renowned beaches, everyone was enjoying their slice of la dolce vita!

Lac Neuchatel by ferry

Students spent Sunday afternoon crossing Lac Neuchatel by ferry. Although it was a little overcast and windy upon departure, we returned to clear skies and even a wonderful rainbow! 

La ville de Montreux



Students left on Saturday for the enchanting Swiss city of Montreux. Once there, they visited the city's centuries' old chateau while walking along the waterfront. The views from every angle were spectacular! Students later stayed for the city's annual summer jazz festival.

Students embarked on an excursion to the nation's capital - Bern. While there, students were immersed in the city's rich history, architecture and European ambience. Taking advantage of the cool and temperate Swiss weather, the city of Bern had students relaxing and enjoying a game of ball as they took in the fantastic views around them.
