[CEMS TERM ABROAD]
You never get bored in Paris. The city is full of affordable dinner spots, and if you’re in the mood for something more chill, you can grab your friends and have a picnic by the Eiffel Tower. People are incredibly active here and you’ll see runners along the Seine at every hour of the day. Paris is packed with cafés, museums and events going on every single day of the week.
If the big city ever feels like too much, the HEC campus has amazing facilities for pretty much any sport you can think of, from tennis and pilates to dance and crossfit. The outdoor spaces are perfect for jogging or just going on a long walk.
France itself is such a great place for an exchange because there is so much to see. You can hit the slopes in the Alps during winter, visit countless historical sites, explore the vineyards across different regions, or enjoy the beaches in the south or on the west coast.
