Imagine studying in France, in Normandy or Brittany

By choosing the Flex - Normandy / Brittany programme, you will be guaranteed a placement in the north of France, not far from the English Channel.

If you dream of living near the water, in a distinctive area of France hosting famous cities such as Rouen, Caen, St Lô, Rennes, St Brieuc and Quimper, this opportunity is not to be missed!

Normandy and Brittany are regions located in the north-west of France, overlooking the English channel and the evocative Celtic Sea. Both regions are also very close to Île-de-France and consequently, close to the stunning French capital city.

Saying that the whole history of France - if not of Europe! - is contained within Normandy and Brittany, would not be too big of a stretch. If Brittany is home to the Carnac stones, evidence of the first European civilisations and one of the cradles of Celtic culture, it is from the shores of Normandy that William the Conqueror set sail to reach England and lay the first stone towards the creation of the United Kingdom as we know it today. Many centuries later, on those same shores, the fate of Europe was decided during World War II, with fierce battles still featuring on today's history books.

But history is not the only trait that makes Normandy and Brittany so special; their distinctive culinary culture, largely based on seafood and traditional specialties known worldwide. In fact, anyone hoping for a career in the culinary world - or any of you foodies out there! - should definitely have this part of France on their bucket list.

Whether the backdrop of your exchange is Normandy or Brittany, you're bound to be blown away and become completely enmeshed in these lively regions rich in history, legends and traditions - you will soon feel like you've always belonged there.
