Provins Day Trip

Every semester, we take a day trip at the end of orientation. It’s a perfect way for students to spend time together outside of CUPA and explore a nearby French town or city.

This semester we visited Provins, where we went on a guided tour of the medieval city. Provins has an incredible history as a central city of French commerce and trade. We were able to see the remaining medieval architecture, church, and prison, as well learn about the various communities who lived there.

After our tour, we had a delicious lunch at Vieux Remparts, where students ate typically French meals, such as magret de canard, bavette d’aloyau, suprême de poulet, banane rôtie, and eclair. 

After a few hours of free time to explore the city, we all headed back to Paris before the evening fell. Another splendid trip !
