Laval University Study Tour 2008

The Universite Laval Study Tour, in partnership with the University Honors Program (UHP), International Programs at Purdue University, and the Universite Laval in Quebec City, provides new UHP students an enriched, international learning experience. Students are immersed in a unique culture while exchanging ideas with internationally renowned faculty and community leaders. At the conclusion of the program, participating UHP students will receive one hour of honors credit in advance of starting classes.

The "Fontaine de Tourny" was built in the 1850's in France and it stood for a long time in the "allées de Tourny" neighborhood of the French city of Bordeaux. It was purchased and moved to Quebec City where it was restored. Earlier this year, it was installed in front of the Assemblée Nationale. It is a gift of "La Maison Simons", a Quebec-based fashion retailer, in honor of the 400th anniversary of the founding of the city.

Below are pictures from the "Louis Jolliet" dinner cruise. The dinner cruise is on the last night of the study tour and is a great way to wind down from a busy week.
