Program Excursions
Located 10 miles outside Paris, Versailles grew from a hunting lodge into the epitome of opulence. It was a royal residence of unmatched architectural grandeur that symbolizes both the power and the decline of the French monarchy.
Chambord and Chenonceau are two of the most beautiful examples of Renaissance castles. The difference in style and purpose will allow the group to appreciate two different ideas of what this period represented.
A walk through the neighborhood where the group will spend a month will allow everybody to have a look at a true Parisian neighborhood and will allow participants to get a feel for the location of local landmarks, everyday shops, restaurants and so on.
What's Included
Program Cost: $5,095 + airfare
To help you budget, keep in mind that you are responsible for the cost of obtaining a passport ($145), one meal per day + personal expenses (approx. $500-$1000 depending on your food tastes/spending habits/optional independent travel preferences), pre-departure (in USA) Covid-19 test and on-site (KIIS location abroad) Covid-19 test to return home, any class readings/materials, and any fees from your college/university.
Although KIIS tries to foresee all possible expenses in formulating program fees, please note that dramatic fluctuations in foreign currency valuations and/or airline surcharges may affect the total cost of the program.
Group Flight
Estimated Cost: $1,400 – $1,500
The Paris I program offers a group flight option where you can travel to/from Paris with other students and faculty. If you choose this option, KIIS will purchase a roundtrip flight ticket for you. The flight cost will be added to your final program fee on April 1. The group flight will depart from Cincinnati or Louisville.
If not selecting the group flight, you are responsible to purchase your own roundtrip airfare.
The flight to Paris is overnight arriving the following morning. On the return, the flight from Paris to the USA departs and arrives on the same day. Visit Flights and Passports & Visas for more information.
Student Voices
“I spent my whole life only seeing pictures and figurines of the Eiffel Tower, so the fact that I was there is still mind blowing. My favorite experience was probably having a photoshoot in the Tuileries Garden.”
– China, Paris I
“Traveling with KIIS has given me opportunities to capture the light, movement and personality of Paris. My roommates quickly became my best friends, and the interpersonal connection I’ve developed with my professor is one I am forever grateful for. Je t’aime, Paris!”
– Emily, Paris I
“Study abroad taught me, in the most hands-on way possible, how to truly live. Never, for one single moment of my life, have I regretted my decision to study abroad, and I never will. It is easily the best investment that a person can make in herself, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.”
– Whitney, Paris I
“Studying abroad in Paris was the best experience of my life. I had the opportunity to see painting and monuments that can take some people a lifetime to see. I met some amazing people and I will never forget the experience I shared with my peers whether it be walking down the streets, the nightlife or just doing homework in the park.”
– Kaharie, Paris I
“It was a dream. When I stepped off the plane in Paris, France I still couldn’t believe it was a reality. The city became our classroom, and our home, for the month aboard. The people I met and lived with are not ones I will soon forget. I learned a lot about myself and gained a new perspective of the world.”
– Alexis, Paris I
“This is my second time studying through the KIIS, and if I could there would be a third! I took 2 photography classes while on the KIIS Paris 1 trip and I really feel like these 2 classes pushed me in the direction of getting a way better insight of this beautiful city. The assignments were always fun and we were usually out and about in the city!”
– Betty, Paris I
