About This Intensive
Every morning we will meet for three hours in a studio overlooking the Eiffel Tower and the rooftops of Paris. Continental breakfast, short-lectures, mini-workshops, and thought-provoking discussions will be included.
After the first day of class, join a tour of the Left Bank. Discover the best cafés, restaurants, and libraries where you may want to read or write in your time off.
In the afternoons and evenings, you will be free to write on your own, explore Paris, or visit museums and open-air markets.
You will have the option to join us for three evening programs: a play in English or in French with English subtitles, a jazz concert, and a complimentary cocktail reception on our last evening together.
We'll also provide you with a list of recommended cultural events happening in Paris that week.
