The image of France involves its proud intellectual and artistic heritage. This nation has produced: thinkers René Descartes and Jean-Paul Sartre; authors like Marcel Proust and Alexandre Dumas; filmmakers like Jean-Luc Godard and Robert Bresson; and artists like Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. On top of these names, we must not forget the incredible scientists, mathematicians, and other researchers, who may be less popular, but whose achievements are no less spectacular. It does not come as a surprise as to why many international students chose to pursue their education in France.
