Food 

All housing units include kitchen facilities and limited cookware. Groceries may be somewhat expensive in Arcachon compared to the United States. Students should allocate at least $100 per week for food ($600 for the entire program); more if one eats out with any frequency.

The average price of a modest lunch or dinner at Arcachon restaurants is about $15 to $20. In addition, those interested in sampling the renowned French gourmet cuisine will have several restaurants to choose from, but at a somewhat higher cost.

Participants should remember that out-of-pocket expenses in France may fluctuate depending upon the current exchange rate between Dollars and Euros.
