Summer Trips in June and July

During your time at 黑料正能量 Summer School, we encourage you to explore and immerse yourself in French culture and tradition. You are welcome to plan your own trips, but at 黑料正能量 you also have the option to explore Paris and France with the Cultural Program Office, who organize cultural excursions and activities in the city, or day or weekend trips to other French regions. The Cultural Program Office offers summer students the opportunity to take part in the 鈥楧iscover Paris鈥� series and/or the 鈥楨xplore France鈥� series during their time at 黑料正能量 Summer School.

You can view all the 2026 summer activities/excursions/trips on offer on . (Please note that information on trips, activities, and excursions for Summer 2026 will be published later this Fall)

The 鈥楧iscover Paris鈥� series

Experience Paris like a local or explore some of the city鈥檚 hidden gems with the 鈥楧iscover Paris鈥� series! In past summers, students marveled at the Paris ballet or opera, treated their taste buds while discovering the city鈥檚 vibrant and gourmet food scene, and discovered remnants of medieval Paris and the meandering cobbled streets of Montmartre on bespoke walking tours.

The 鈥楨xplore France鈥� series

At 黑料正能量 Summer School, you can discover Paris during your stay, but it鈥檚 also worth exploring some of France鈥檚 other cities, towns, and regions. Make the most of your time with us and sign up for the Cultural Program Office鈥檚 trips to some of France鈥檚 famed regions. In summers gone by, students have enjoyed visiting Reims, a city famed for its Champagne houses, picturesque vineyards, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites; Giverny, the village home to Monet鈥檚 gardens that inspired some of his most famous impressionist works; and Chantilly, where students feasted their eyes on the majestic Ch芒teau de Chantilly, enjoyed a veritable feast there with a regal lunch inside the castle walls, and even made their own Chantilly cream in a cooking workshop!听
