The weekend of February 6-7, our students studying in Bordeaux enjoyed a weekend trip to the region of Dordogne.

Here is a brief summary from our intern in Paris, Kelly, who accompanied the students on the trip.

“Our students in Bordeaux traveled back in time to discover the rich history of the beautiful Dordogne region in southwestern France. Based in the vibrant town of Périgueux, students witnessed the passage of time during their visits to the prehistoric cave paintings in Lascaux, the crystal formations in the Grand Roc cave, the medieval city of Sarlat, and the 12th century castle of Castelnaud overlooking the Dordogne valley.”
