Welcome to Berridge
Gap Year and Summer Programs
Find yourself in France
Set in an 18th-century château in Normandy, Creative Semester is a different kind of gap year experience, giving you the time, space and freedom to explore your interests, develop your creativity and become more independent.
Live alongside a small community of students, work with practicing artists and experience France as part of everyday life.

Since 2008, Berridge has welcomed young people to Château le Mont Epinguet on the Normandy Peninsula, to live in community, expand their creativity, and gather inspiration from this beautiful region of France. Our vision is to broaden awareness of self and others through creative expression and cultural exploration.
