General Information

Tufts Fact

The Tufts European Center is located in Talloires, France. Built in the 12th century, the property was purchased in the 1950s by Tufts graduates, Donald and Charlotte MacJannet. The couple used it as a summer camp for several years before donating the campus to Tufts in 1978. Talloires sits on the shore of Lake Annecy in the French Alps, an hour's drive from Geneva, Switzerland. Every summer, the campus hosts numerous programs ranging from full credit courses for undergraduates to internships for engineering students at a local stainless steel processing plant.
