STMC TY French Exchange
The French Department is happy to announce the setting up of a French exchange/ partnership with the International-Lycée-Georges-Duby.
The aim is to give all French students an opportunity to experience school and family life in France.
The International Lycée-Georges-Duby is situated close to Aix en Provence in the south of France, a relatively small French city with about 140,000 inhabitants. There are 330 days of sunshine, lots of historical sites dating back to the Roman times, stunning countryside that inspired Cezanne, Van Gogh and Picasso, and it is situated only 30mins from the Mediterranean sea and the Alps.
St Michael's students will travel: 24th March - 8th April and we will host French students: 21st April - 6th May.
All those interested should contact the French Department exchange coordinator, Ms Chlyah at RChlyah@stmc.ie
