School trips to France are a great educational tool for primary and secondary school students.
School trips are offered by a number of different companies. These include EF Educational Tours, which offer various itineraries for school trips throughout France and allow teachers and educators to travel for free if enough students attend the trip.
Most school trips to France last a week or more and cover important French cities like Paris. All of the best museums in Paris and other cities are covered in the tour itinerary, including the Louvre and the Musee d’Orsay. They also cover monuments like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe.
Additinoally, school trips cover regional highlights such as the best chateaux in the Loire Valley and the historic cathedrals in Chartres and Reims.
Most school trips involve a very busy schedule of guided tours, either on foot or by bus. However, there is often an hour or two a day of free time for shopping, eating, and non-guided sightseeing in France.
School trips usually involve staying in three or four-star hotels, eating at predetermined restaurants, and using private bus and coach transport in France. Guides and drivers are provided by the tour company, and they accompany the tour for the duration of the trip.
Before booking a school trip to France, make sure to check into what the tour includes and doesn’t include. Some trips include flights and all meals, while others only cover certain parts of the itinerary. Other school trips to France offer discounts based on the number of students and educators attending. Make sure to look carefully when comparing different school trips and their prices so that you and your students get a good value for your trip.
