Curious explorer students can wander quaint walkways, sit at discreet cafes and see romantic art and architecture. They can feel a vibrant current of emotion in this magical city when they walk up Grand Staircase in the Paris Opera or through the beautiful Hameau de la Reine in the Gardens of Versailles.  

The hearts of those studying in the French capital could also be won over by their stomachs, when they experience French cuisine. Food is very important in French culture, and it’s not surprising that eating IS very romantic in Paris. A student’s taste buds may have their own love affair in this city.
