"A new chapter begins": that’s the message Aix-en-Provence wants to send this year as it celebrates its most famous son, Paul Cezanne. At the center of the celebration: a major exhibition, the reopening of his family home, and his final studio. It's one of 28 standout exhibitions receiving the French Ministry of Culture’s “Exposition of National Interest” label in 2025, highlighting key events across nearly 30 museums throughout the country.

The Conférence des Grandes Écoles (CGE) has published its annual employment survey, confirming a long-standing trend: graduates from France’s top-tier Grandes Écoles continue to transition quickly into the workforce. While the net employment rate within six months of graduation has dipped slightly this year to 80.2% for the class of 2024, this decline is largely offset by an overall rise in graduate salaries.
