School Trips To Paris

Europe’s most enchanting city.

Paris is the most popular European destination for our schools.

Not only is it quick and easy to access, either by coach or air, but you can pack a huge amount into just a few days. Climb the steps of Montmartre. Witness the works of Monet, Picasso, and da Vinci. Practice French in a boulangerie. Study the world-famous fashion houses. Embrace the history of Versailles, or just blow off some steam at Disneyland.

Such is the variety of attractions and experiences that the French capital always feels fresh and exciting. And that’s great for schools – with many of the teachers we work with organising a school trip to Paris every year.

Whatever your focus, there are plenty of opportunities to create memories and support learning. And we’re here to help you bring it all together. When you’re ready, speak to one of our advisers.

Why Choose Paris For An Educational Tour?

World-Changing History

Paris is a brilliant destination for groups studying the history of Europe. The city sat at the centre of the French Revolution and ensuing Napoleonic Wars, before suffering the terror of Nazi occupation until its liberation in August 1944.

As they explore the city, students will learn about these events and how they changed the world. Stretching further back in time, they’ll find remnants of medieval Paris along the cobbled lanes of the Latin Quarter and in the beautifully restored Notre-Dame Cathedral.

World-Class Art

Paris has more art than you could see in a lifetime, but your students will love trying.

The works of the Louvre are known across the world – from the subtle smile of the Mona Lisa to masterpiece sculptures like the Venus de Milo. But we find school groups enjoy visits to the Musée de l’Orangerie and Musée d’Orsay just as much. After all, seeing Monet’s water lilies or Van Gogh’s distinct style in person is a rite of passage for budding artists.

Real-World French Lessons

You can spend hours in the classroom covering vocabulary, sentence structures, and grammar rules. Why not put it all into practice?

For students, seeing that they can turn everything they’ve learnt into a real-life conversation is a rush. It sounds so simple, but even ordering a pain au chocolat in a local bakery, chatting with market stallholders, or simply navigating the metro immediately boosts confidence and creates a love of French.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do your school trips to Paris cost?

The cost of a school trip to Paris will depend on the number of children, your accommodation, length of stay, and the planned activities. Please give us a call and we’ll provide a full quote for your group.

What is the best time of year to visit Paris with a school group?

Paris is a lovely city to visit at all times of the year. It is busier and more expensive in the summer months, so you may want to bear that in mind if you wish to avoid the crowds and keep costs down.

What transport options are available for visiting Paris?

The vast majority of our school groups choose to visit Paris by coach. The ferry across the English Channel is an easy route that will get you to Paris in a relatively short amount of time. Plus, that means you have a coach on hand for day trips – Versailles, for example, is over an hour from the city centre. If you wish, it is possible to fly, although it will be more expensive.
