Description:
| Avignon is situated in the Rhone Valley, less than fifty miles from the Mediterranean. All of the finest monuments of Roman Gaul are easily accessible from the city. Within its walls stands the most remarkable complex of fourteenth-century architecture in France, dating back to the period when Avignon was the seat of the Papacy and supplanted Rome as the capital of Christendom. Today this region has recaptured much of its former cultural importance. Each summer internationally known festivals of drama and music are held at Avignon and neighboring Orange, Vaison-la-Romaine, Les Baux, Arles and Aix-en-Provence.
Bryn Mawr College offers a summer program of intensive work in significant aspects of French culture. The program is open to male and female students from other colleges and from Bryn Mawr. Some of the courses carry graduate credit. The Institut director and faculty members are French professors teaching in colleges and universities in the United States and Europe. Classes are held at the Palais du Roure, and the facilities of the Médiathèque Ceccano are available to the group. Students live with families in Avignon. Applicants for admission must have strong academic records and have completed a course in French at a third-year college level or the equivalent.
