Finding French Culture in Charlottesville: De la 10eme Arrondissement à Charlottesville!


Meet Claudia, another "stagiare" or intern at AFC!

Claudia is a third year Foreign Affairs and French major. The French lifestyle has been, to some degree, instilled in her since birth as her father is French. Many of her summers were spent on her grandparents balcony in the 10th Arrondissement in Paris and the city holds a very special place in her heart. She hopes to be able to use both her majors in order to study and work in France in the coming years.

For Claudia, French culture isn't necessarily something you just find in France, rather its appreciating and wanting to know more about French language, food, movies or music that builds up the idea of the culture no matter what part of the world you're from. She loves the idea of the Alliance Francaise because it brings the aspects of being French to places where it normally wouldn't be accessible.
