Les Tapies Arts and Architecture Program in the South of France offers an intensive three-week design and cultural experience through a hands-on study of French vernacular architecture and the functional/aesthetic relationship it shares with the landscape. The program is designed for students ages 14-18 who have a strong interest in the arts, or who are considering a career in design or architecture.

Students enroll in one of the major courses as well as an elective in an area of interest, which will strengthen their creative and presentation techniques or develop manual skills through restoration projects. The major courses meet 4 hours daily, and the elective courses meet 2 hours per day Monday to Friday.
