Students will stay in the newly renovated, comfortable
environment of the St. John's Paris campus, 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.
