Why Choose Nice For An Educational Tour?
Language immersion
A school trip to Nice offers a brilliant immersion experience for groups studying French – whether it’s a GCSE class prepping for exams, or younger year groups getting to grips with the basics.
At our partner language school in Nice, your group can take part in lessons taught by native speakers (and you’ll be able to discuss the content with them in advance). Beyond that, students will have the opportunity to practice their speaking skills in museums, markets and cafes – boosting confidence in their abilities.
And you can complete the total immersion by choosing for your students to stay with carefully selected host families, where they’ll have lots of opportunity to develop their conversational skills (especially over the evening meal, which they’ll enjoy with their hosts).
Cross-curricular scope
Nice has long been a city that attracts artists and thinkers, and this is captured in the city’s range of modern-day cultural attractions. Musee Matisse and Musee Chagall, for example, show off the work of two modern masters from the Cote d’Azur – Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall.
Meanwhile, the dramatic coastline of the French Riviera, with many cliffs and beaches, can serve as a natural case study for the impact of tourism, sustainable development and coastal erosion.
