Why choose Paris for a French language school trip?

Known as the "City of Light" (La Ville Lumière), Paris is the perfect destination for French language school trips, offering students a unique blend of culture, history, and real-life immersion. At every turn, there are opportunities for students to step out of the classroom and put their studies into practice. Whether they are chatting with locals at bustling market stalls, ordering a crêpe at a street café, or navigating the Métro, students get the chance to build confidence by using French in authentic, everyday situations.

Our school trips to Paris are designed to make learning a language an exciting and unforgettable experience. By surrounding your students with native speakers and the city’s vibrant atmosphere, we help transform their listening and speaking skills. Whether it’s their first time abroad or a return visit, Paris provides the perfect setting for a fantastic French immersion trip.

Where to Visit on a French Language Trip to Paris?

No French-language school trip to Paris would be complete without experiencing the landmarks that have shaped the world's image of France, particularly Paris. We can tailor your itinerary to include these iconic highlights:

  • The Eiffel Tower: An essential stop for any group, with its spectacular views and a chance for students to identify landmarks across Paris.
  • The Louvre Museum: Home to the Mona Lisa and centuries of French art history, providing a rich cultural backdrop for language learners.
  • Montmartre: This artistic quarter is perfect for French language trips, as students can interact with local artists and practice their conversational skills in the many shops and cafés.
  • Versailles: Explore the palace and its world-famous gardens to deepen students' understanding of French royal history and 17th-century architecture.
  • Disneyland® Paris: Why not visit the world-famous theme park? It’s little wonder that this fascinating city is such a popular choice for French language study tours.

Top visits on a French language school trip to Paris

Le Stade de France

As part of our Paris language school trips, take your students behind-the-scenes of France’s premier stadium. Take a tour, in French or English, of the players’ tunnel, changing rooms, security facilities, pitch and photo museum.

Eiffel Tower

Paris’ best-known monument has outstanding city views, which on a clear day can stretch for 42 miles. On a French language school trip to Paris, students can identify many of the capital’s iconic landmarks from its viewing platforms, such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Seine River, and Sacré-Cœur.

Seine River Boat Cruise

An enjoyable river cruise along the Seine offers a relaxing and unique perspective on the iconic sights of Paris. As the boat glides past landmarks such as Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower, students can learn about each one from the French (or English) commentary on their headsets.

Montmartre & Sacré Coeur

Montmartre provides an opportunity for students to practise their language skills with its many street stalls and street artists, shops and cafés. Once a meeting place for artists in the late 19th and early 20th century, your group can also view artists painting portraits and caricatures for the tourists and enjoy a spectacular view of Paris from the steps of the Sacré Coeur.

Notre Dame Cathedral

After 5 years of restoration, this stunning cathedral is reopening its doors following the devastating fire in 2019. This stunning cathedral, like all medieval churches, was painted on the inside so a largely illiterate population could learn the Bible stories. The use of colour was meant to glorify God and breathe life into the scriptures. This stunning and imposing building is a must-see in Paris, particularly as the cathedral has witnessed many important ceremonies for Christianity and the history of nations.

Fragonard Perfumery

Discover the art of French perfume-making with a free guided tour of the renowned Fragonard Perfumery, available in your choice of French or English. Students will explore the museum to learn about the history and techniques of fragrance production, from the extraction of raw materials to the creation of iconic scents.

Château Versailles

During a French language school trip to Paris, students can explore the spectacular Château de Versailles, one of the most famous royal palaces in the world and the site of numerous historic events, including the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. Your group will have the chance to marvel at the opulent architecture, from the Hall of Mirrors to the lavish royal apartments, gaining insight into France’s royal history and the grandeur of 17th-century design.

Louvre Museum

Probably the most famous museum in the world and home to some of the finest collections of antiquities, sculpture and art. It is the ideal place for students to see the prominent role that art plays in French culture. The museum is also home to cafés and shops where students can practise language skills too. 

Centre Pompidou

Closed September 2025 until 2030

 

Centre Pompidou is currently closed while major renovation and modernisation works are carried out, with plans to reopen in 2030. In spring 2027, a new space entirely dedicated to creation and conservation will open in Massy, Essonne: the Centre Pompidou Francilien – fabrique de l’art, located approximately 12 miles south of the city centre.

Guided Tour of Paris

A tailor-made coach tour of Paris that includes a dedicated French or English-speaking guide, who will help with pronunciation and knowledge of the many sights of Paris. One of our groups’ favourites is the evening tour of the Paris Illuminations. We can arrange walking tours too. 

Musée Gourmand du Chocolat - Choco Story

Paris Montparnasse – Top of the City

Cité des Sciences (Science City)

A fantastic addition to our Paris language school trips, the Cité des Sciences is France’s largest science museum and planetarium, offering 30,000m² of interactive exhibits that bring scientific discovery to life.
