PROGRAM OVERVIEW: French Culture, Food & Health (SA
10223/NUTR 39800). This program provides students the opportunity to earn academic credit
while exploring the rich culinary, cultural and health characteristics of France.
Scientists have been baffled about the French Paradox: the observation that the
French eat such rich food and yet their rates of heart disease are less than
that of Americans. The course highlights the scientific and social issues
surrounding this contradiction while simultaneously immersing students in the
culture of French food and eating patterns. Students enjoy the peaceful
surroundings and people of a French town between cooking lessons from French
chefs and daily excursions to local farmers’ markets, a vineyard, an oil press,
a chocolate maker, various restaurants and more.
STUDENTS: Any student in any major* in good academic
standing is eligible for this course. There are no pre- requisites, nor
language or skill requirements. Past students have been from at least 24
different majors.
Maximum
enrollment is approximately 15 students, which is limited by the capacity of
our accommodations. Students who participate enjoy getting to know their fellow
students in a small, relaxed setting. *French
majors may participate, but should be aware that this course does not meet the
French department’s requirements for language
immersion.
TRAVEL OVERSEAS: May 23-31, 2020. We will stay 6 nights in
a villa in the town of Riorges, and take day trips to nearby
cities/attractions. The last day/night will be in Lyon, considered the
gastronomy center of France (http://www.cnn.com/travel/article/lyon-outshines-paris/index.html)
ACADEMIC DETAILS: Students earn 2 credits for a letter
grade. You will spend 6 hours in class, spread across 4 (mandatory) class
meetings in Feb, March and April, all at 5:30 – 7:00pm. During this time, we
learn about various factors related to French food, culture and health, how
they compare to American food, culture and health, prepare you for your
experience abroad.
COST: The
program fee is ESTIMATED at $3100; when it’s finalized, it will be updated on
our webpage. The fee will include all meals
(except 2), housing and transportation within France for the week. The fee is
