Beyond the classroom, immerse yourself in the town’s rich traditional culture through activities like volunteering at a local soup kitchen or an after-school children's center. Participate in excursions to the Roman town of Arles or the seaside town of Cassis, where you can sample local wines and visit the breathtaking Calanques National Park by boat, or explore Marseille, France’s cosmopolitan second-largest city. Engage with contemporary issues such as sustainability, migration, and intercultural diversity, all set against the backdrop of the region's thriving tourism industry and its deep-rooted connection to the Mediterranean basin.
