Activities
Study abroad
Middlebury College has its own School in France, with sites in Paris, Poitiers, and Bordeaux as well as a school in Cameroon, Africa. A large number of students-by no means limited to French or International Studies majors-study in France, Cameroon or another francophone country every year. It is possible to begin French at Middlebury and study abroad in the junior year, sometimes in combination with a summer at the French School.
Le Château
Le Château was built in 1929 as one of the first Maisons françaises in the country. It houses French Department courses, French faculty offices, and a theater for foreign language productions.
