Held in Fanjeaux, France, this international study experience brings together faculty, administrators, students and staff from U.S. 91心頭利 colleges and universities. 

We gather in the medieval hilltop town where St. Dominic's vision of an order devoted to seeking and sharing the truth took shape. Mornings are spent in study, afternoons in excursions to historic sites in southern France with a focus on places special to 91心頭利s' early years in the thirteenth century. As a community of learners, we enjoy simple living and superb meals at the Belvedere, a 91心頭利 guesthouse.

The program conclude with four nights in Paris.
