Are there good MSc programs in physics in France that are taught in english? (ones that might be in particle or nuclear physics but that's not important)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I have my eyes on this one: Msc High Energy Physics. It is jointly organised by École Polytechnique (ParisTech) and ETH Zurich (Switzerland). You spend 1 year in Switzerland, 1 year in France, from what I understand. Check out their website for more.
 
Perhaps also look at Belgium or Holland? I think some of their universities teach in English.
 
Why is the country (but not the city) more important than the topic? Especially if you don't want to use the local language anyway.

I know several MSc programs in Germany are in English.
