Hello!

I'm wondering if anyone knows any universities in France that have a great physics department. I'm currently in my second year of college getting my associates degree, and I'm looking at options in France for my bachelors. My French professor is always talking about French universities, and it's made me interested. My major is physics, and I have learned two semesters of French in college, but I plan on taking another semester before I leave my current school.

Thanks beforehand :)
