This past weekend, students discovered the city’s vast network of catacombs, containing the bones of an estimated six million former residents. The fascinating, if eerie visit was hosted by a group of students from the Sorbonne, with whom Hollins Abroad-Paris has developed a privileged relationship. The group, Parismus, organizes a variety of events each semester , including visits to museums and walks in Paris neighborhoods, welcome parties and club nights, picnics and the occasional dinner in one of the city’s student-friendly restaurants. Our students are always welcome at these events, which provide a great opportunity to make new friends and practice speaking French in a very laid-back atmosphere. Check Parismus out here.
