Un de mes cours prérèré à l'université était un cours de André Gide! If I were to guess which book this is from, I would say Voyage D'Urien. But I've never read it in translation and I'm not sure I have my old copy anymore to verify. In any case, I agree with it. A day, a week, a month; it's not enough time. A year or more abroad, that would be the way to go for me!
