As some readers may know already, Booth offers the opportunity to study abroad through The International Business Exchange Program (IBEP). More information on IBEP can be found in this earlier blog post. I decided to study abroad at ESSEC in France this winter quarter. I was curious about courses that weren’t offered at Booth (such as International Luxury Distribution) and the chance to fit in more traveling was certainly appealing.
So far the quarter is off to a great start! Here are some highlights:
A “framboisine” pastry from my local boulangerie/patisserie (bakery shops found at nearly every corner in Paris)
Trying out Restaurant Astier (in the Bastille/Oberkampf neighborhood) with a friend. I highly recommend the pork belly and the cheese plate!
Place des Vosges, one of the prettiest squares in Paris, built by King Henry IV in the early 1600s.
Boothies and new friends from other business schools getting together for a meal at La Coincidence (in the Trocadero neighborhood near the Eiffel Tower). From left to right, Luis, Sofia from the Schulich School of Business, Gisselle from Kellogg, me, Sonya, Nelson, and Nadia.
