Accès is study abroad in France... autrement! Accès is a French linguistic and cultural immersion program for American university students in Strasbourg, France. The program is designed to get students off the tourist trail and into a setting where they can experience la vie à la française every day. Students take classes at the Université de Strasbourg, live with French host families or in boarding houses with French students and undertake internships at local associations. Accès organizes cultural workshops where students learn a skill they didn't know they had, such as cooking a French meal, playing the diatonic accordion or French folk dancing. Academic excursions to out-of-the way sites in the region make for an unforgettable semester or year abroad.
