Why not explore Baden-Württemberg during your next teen language immersion program in Germany with LEC? We’d like to take this opportunity to tell you a little more about this state on the border with France… Willkommen!
A state bordering Switzerland and France
Le Bade-Wurtemberg est l’un des Länder qui compose le paysage allemand, ces grandes régions parmi lesquelles on compte la Bavière ou la Basse-Saxe. Celui que l’on appellera Baden-Württemberg lors de son séjour linguistique ado en Allemagne est le plus au sud-ouest du pays. Il tutoie non seulement le territoire français, mais également la Suisse, le lac de Constance, le Land de Rhénanie-Palatinat et le Land de Hesse, ainsi que la Bavière.
From Stuttgart to Karlsruhe
In 2012, Baden-Württemberghad a population of approximately 10.51 million; this is more than in any region of France, with the exception of Île-de-France. Among the region’s major cities are, of course, Stuttgart, its capital, as well as Mannheim, Heidelberg, Ulm, and Karlsruhe —and it is in the heart of the latter that you’ll have the opportunity to perfect your knowledge of the language of Goethe during a teen language study program in Germany with LEC.
What to see in Baden-Württemberg?
Covering an area of 35,751 square kilometers, the state of Baden-Württemberg has plenty to offer both locals and tourists. In addition to its cities, which you’ll never tire of exploring—such as the 18th-century Karlsruhe Palace —there’s also the famous Black Forest, a mountain range overlooking the Rhine Valley. Finally, among the region’s must-see attractions is the Maulbronn Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site: this Cistercian abbey, founded in 1147, is the most complete and best-preserved medieval monastic complex north of the Alps.
