Excelia | Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University

Ideally located right at the heart of Europe, France is an important crossroads for the ‘Old Continent’, making it easy to travel within the 26 countries of the Schengen Area, with a single visa being required, and the Euro often being the local currency.
France is blessed with unique landscapes, and regions with diverse historical, cultural and architectural heritage.
Excelia is based in La Rochelle, a coastal city with an exceptional climate, bursting of history 2:30 hours from Paris (by train) and Tours. It’s also a city where life is good, as testified by local residents who describe it as “green and peaceful”. Indeed, La Rochelle and the whole of Charente-Maritime are very conscious of their environmental footprint.
