Social program :
You can be sure to find a nice social programme during the summer time whereas it’s difficult for us to organize the same things during the school year. Here are a few examples of what we did last summer : going to the swimming-pool (we offer you 2 tickets) visiting the museums (we try to organize free guided tours) parties and barbecues going to the “Festival des 7 collines”, a theater festival, or to some concerts walking, biking, climbing and even swimming in the “Parc naturel du Pilat” Accrobranches (tree-climbing), and Via-ferrata Rafting ... and just spending nice time together !
We will also help you to plan your week-end excursions : Ardèche gorges, Marseilles, Paris and the Alps.
Climate : Weather can vary a lot and you should be prepared to all kinds of weather. Temperature in July and August can be quite hot : up to 35° C, and not all the departments at the hospital are air-conditionned. Links Some links you might find useful when considering coming to Saint-Etienne :
