A school trip to Paris offers students the chance to get to grips with art, architecture, literature, and history, to name a few. But the city doesn’t solely look back – Paris school trips provide groups with a chance to experience a bustling, cosmopolitan culture that comes complete with a roster of exciting landmarks.
For students of art, there’s no better place in the world to get up-close-and-personal with all manner of sculptures and paintings. From must-see tour staples like the Louvre to immersive, one-of-a-kind experiences like a lecture at the Sorbonne or an Impressionism painting workshop – a Paris school trip provides the chance to not only see wonders of European art in the flesh, but learn more about their context from experts.

Educational tours to Paris are also the natural fit for French language groups. Cultural immersion experiences and language lessons provide students with a chance to brush up their conversational skills with native speakers, while trips to the Académie Francaise provide meaningful context to the development of the language. The group’s activities can run in French, and challenges led by Adventure Leaders allow students to explore real-world immersion with a fun twist.
For students of business, history, or literature, school trips to Paris allow students to walk in the footsteps of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Hemingway, explore the Banque de France’s Citéco Museum, or visit the National Archives to study documents from the French Revolution.
The city’s international and regional transport links also means that educational tours can venture outside the city, with multi-destination school trips to Lyons and Marseille helping to further enrich students’ understanding of their subject.
While Paris provides the opportunity for a plethora of visits and exciting hands-on experiences, there are some firm favourites, without which no school trip to Paris is complete:
It’s always worth avoiding Paris in the summer months between June and August, when the crowds mean that it’s harder to maximise your time. For schools, March to May and September to October provide the same seasonal weather, but afford groups more space to explore.
Absolutely. If there’s something specific to your curriculum goals you’d like to tick off, or a must-see for you, just let us know. For example, you might decide you’d like more French-language practice activities throughout the duration of your Paris school trip
