Make the St. John’s Paris campus your program’s new home.
Whether for an academic year or a short-term program, we can work
with you to provide full, tailor-made study abroad programs or
simply provide you with housing and classroom facilities to serve
as a base for your students’ exploration of Paris.
Students will stay in the newly renovated, comfortable
environment of the Maison- Mère, located in the popular St-Germain
district of Paris. The campus is situated within a six-story
structure containing approximately 20,000 square feet of space
offering a mixture of residences, classrooms, office and support
space. Best of all, you have immediate access to the incomparable
artistic, cultural and educational resources available only in
Paris.
The adventure of this district lies in discovering the narrow
streets and hidden squares that bring the city’s historic and
literary associations to life.
Dominated for centuries by a vast Benedictine abbey,
St-Germain-des-Prés came into vogue in the early 20th century as a
center of intellectual and artistic
life, home to jazz clubs and literary cafés. Students will gain an
understanding of French culture by being immersed in this artistic
neighborhood. Though the recent arrival of couture and designer
boutiques is changing the neighborhood’s character, its narrow side
streets still boast art galleries, bookstores and cozy café
terraces.
The Boulevard St-Germain stretches for two miles between the
Pont de Sully, which crosses to the Île St-Louis, to the Pont de la
Concorde. This area boasts
many tourist attractions such as Notre Dame, Louvre Museum, Musee
d’Orsay and Jardin du Luxembourg – all within reach of our
campus.
