Why Choose France For An Educational Tour?
History
Europe is brimming with historical experiences. And France is one of the best options for bringing a curriculum to life.
It’s a natural choice if you’re studying the World Wars. You can visit the site of Operation Dynamo in Dunkirk, the D-Day landing beaches in Normandy, or the battlefields of the First World War.
That’s not all. Learn more about the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, and the Renaissance through a range of museums, attractions, and workshops.
Geography
With one of the world’s most famous mountain ranges, it’s no wonder our groups love a geography field trip to France.
Take in the rugged beauty of the Alps while learning about the millenia of tectonic and glacial movements it took for them to form. Or discover the impact years of tourism has had on alpine towns and villages, like Chamonix.
Culture, Food & Language
Your students will likely be familiar with croissants and baguettes. But have they tried French onion soup, snails (escargot), or tartiflette? Have they seen how local boulangeries knead, shape and bake the perfect bread?
But it’s not just about eating delicious food. Through food and other aspects of the country’s culture, our school trips to France give students the chance to put their language skills into practice.
This is ideal for giving pupils a confidence boost ahead of speaking and listening exams. Moreover, it allows them to be inspired and flourish in a country that is revered globally for its cultural richness.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do your school trips to France cost?
This depends on where you go and how long for. Plus, there’s the cost of different activities. We’ll keep it budget-friendly by organising a mix of activities tailored to your objectives. This will include both free (e.g. the Notre-Dame) and paid (e.g. the Louvre) attractions.
What is the best time of year to visit France with a school group?
It depends where you’re going. Northern France, generally, is suitable year-round, although it’s best in the shoulder seasons (Spring and Autumn). Paris, in particular, can get very busy and hot in the summer. Elsewhere, the French Alps are more expensive to visit in Winter due to ski season, so it’s better to wait till Spring or Summer.
What documents do students need to travel to France?
Students only need a valid passport, which must expire more than 3 months after your return date. There are no visa requirements for British citizens travelling to France, provided none of your students have visited the Schengen Area for more than 90 days in a 180 day period.
What transport options are available for visiting France?
Most schools choose to visit France by coach. This usually involves an early start as the coach drives down to Dover, takes the ferry across the Channel, and then onwards to your destination. It’s a more sustainable and affordable option, plus you’ll have use of your coach whilst away. Alternatively, you can fly, which adds to the cost, but it does mean a shorter travel time.
