• Guided sightseeing tour of Paris
• Bateaux Mouches boat trip on the River Seine
• Entrance to Disneyland Paris - one day/two parks

There were lots of opportunities to use French on this trip and students were provided with a booklet which enabled them to learn some interesting facts about the places that we visited prior to going on the trip.

Our school trip to Paris is a fantastic option for a number of reasons. Paris is a city with many world-renowned landmarks and monuments dotted around the city centre, from the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Elysees to the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral. The students have a chance to be fully immersed in the French language and few cities boast a better collection of world-class museums and galleries than Paris. Visiting the Louvre, or the picturesque hills of Montmartre that have been a home for many great artists, writers and musicians in recent history: Salvador Dali, Vincent van Gogh and Ernest Hemingway, to name a few is an amazing cross-curricular opportunity. Our school trip Paris has a huge language focus, and there is no better place to immerse students in French culture and captivate their imagination than the country’s capital.
