When IUHPFL was established in 1962, Saint-Brieuc, located in the Brittany (Bretagne) region of France, was one of the three original host cities, along with Trier, Germany and Oaxaca, Mexico. Today, St. Brieuc continues to be a popular option for our French students and it is the only remaining original program site. A second French site was established in Brest, also in Brittany, in 1994. Due to the increasing number of high school French students applying to the program, a third site was established in Saumur in the Loire valley in 2010.
