Paris is a city of unparalled cultural diversity, a city of love and literature, of majesty and history, of relaxation and refinement.  Whether you explore the labyrinthine Louvre, the sophisticated shops or simply sip a grand crème in one of the city's chic street cafes, Paris has something for everyone.

Paris boasts a monument to mark every step in its colourful history.  From the Gothic splendour of Notre-Dame (which marks the site of a former Roman temple) to modern masterpieces, such as the Grande Arche de la Défense, (a symbol of the city's thriving cultural and commericial interests), Paris is a happy marriage of the traditional and the contempory.

The attitude of Paris today is one of overwhelming self-confidence; of tradition, style, chic and elegance; of vision, progress and change.  It is a city where one can immerse oneself in pleasures from the tempting terraces of the Musée Rodin to riverside picnics on the banks of the Seine.

Paris defines and divides itself by its famous river into the Left Bank (rive gauche) and the Right Bank (rive droite).  OISE Paris is located on the Left Bank between the quintessentially Parisian park, the Jardin du Luxembourg, and the enchanting jazz cafes and curiosity shops of the Latin Quarter.  Nestling in the heart of some of the world's finest educational institutions, the school occupies the ground floor of a tradional 1920's building; it successfully marries elegant period detail with a stylish modern interior.
