Tufts has a [[satellite campus]] in [[Talloires, France]] at the Tufts European Center, a former [[Order of Saint Benedict|Benedictine]] [[priory]] built in the 11th century. The priory was purchased in 1958 by Donald MacJannet and his wife Charlotte and used as a summer camp site for several years before the MacJannets gave the campus to Tufts in 1978.

Each year the center hosts a number of summer study programs, and enrolled students live with local families. The Tufts Summit Program is for American high school students during the month of July. Tufts in Talloires is a 6-week program for Tufts undergraduates that extends from the middle of May until the end of June. Additionally, Tufts in Annecy is a 4-week program which provides French language learners a chance to practice and learn the language. The site is frequently the host of international conferences and summits, most notably the [[Talloires Declaration]] which united 22 universities toward a goal of sustainability.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ase.tufts.edu/europeanCenter/about/|title=Tufts University European Center in Talloires, France|access-date=August 3, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110805001259/http://ase.tufts.edu/europeanCenter/about/|archive-date=August 5, 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> The Talloires campus has been ranked as one of the best branch campuses by the National Association of Branch Campus Administrators.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tuftsdaily.com/news/talloires-program-ranked-among-best-branch-campuses-1.2844605#.UuKxGxAo7IU |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201232938/http://www.tuftsdaily.com/news/talloires-program-ranked-among-best-branch-campuses-1.2844605#.UuKxGxAo7IU |archive-date=February 1, 2014 |title=Talloires program ranked among best branch campuses |first=Abigail |last=Feldman}}</ref>
