All students who won't have given their departure details before June 15 will automatically receive a train ticket. Note: For a plane taking off at 10am for instance, students have to leave Troyes at least 5 hours before (2 to 3 hours trip to airport + 2 to 3 hours required at the airport).

V. USEFUL INFORMATION Adventure week end in Evian les Bain region This kind of activity is extremely popular with our French and international Students. The activities take place near the Geneva lake area (half day drive from Troyes)

Activities are supervised by a professional specialized agency (called “Takamaka”). 4 activities (canyoning, paragliding, rafting, Via ferrata) are included in the price of the week end and are at beginners’ level. Students will be required to confirm the activities they want to take later on. Canyoning is traveling in canyons using a variety of techniques that may include other outdoor activities such as walking, scrambling, climbing, jumping, abseiling (rapelling), and/or swimming. Paragliding is the recreational and competitive adventure sport of flying paragliders: lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure. Rafting is a challenging recreational outdoor activity using an inflatable raft to navigate a river or other bodies of water. This is usually done on white water or different degrees of rough water, in order to thrill and excite the raft passengers. Students MUST know how to swim for the canyoning and rafting activities.
