Your students will speak French at every opportunity & become totally immersed in the language on this jam-packed escorted tour of Paris—led by your very own native French animateur. C'est parti !
Paris Parle, our escorted French language tour of Paris, transforms the city’s world-leading galleries, museums, monuments and attractions into an interactive learning zone for your students to practise their French. Students will experience countless recognisable sights and immerse themselves in French culture—all while being encouraged by our animateur to practise their French at every opportunity.

It's their job to lead your group in French and run French activities in the evening to create an immersive learning experience. Teachers consistently report dramatic improvements in students' French after their escorted Paris Parle tour.
The animateur is also an extra pair of hands providing invaluable support to the party leader and using their local knowledge to maximise your time at every attraction.

Voyager School Travel is the preferred partner of Campus Sainte Therese. We recommend this residential centre for the majority of our school groups travelling to Paris because of its convenient location in the beautiful town of Ozoir-la-Ferrière, just 13 miles from the centre of Paris and a 35-minute drive from Disneyland® Paris.
Campus Sainte Therese hosts school groups exclusively, which means it is a safe and secure environment where students can unwind without having to worry about other guests. What’s more, after a busy day seeing the sites of Paris, teachers can relax each evening while our animateurs lead French-language evening entertainment for your students. Unlike many of Paris' central hotels, the Campus has ample outside space to play games and blow off steam - a real benefit to staying at this popular accommodation.
Take in Paris from the waters of the river Seine on a cruise that will take you under many of the city's beautiful bridges. It's even more magical by night when the city of lights really comes alive.

The Avenue des Champs-Élysées is a boulevard in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, 1.9 kilometres long and 70 metres wide, which runs between the Place de la Concorde and the Place Charles de Gaulle, where the Arc de Triomphe is located. It is famous for its theatres, cafés and luxury shops, and for the military parade that takes place each year on the avenue on 14 July to celebrate Bastille Day.

The largest art museum in the world is on most peoples' Paris wishlist—and it won't disappoint. Don't fancy facing massive crowds? Opt for one the other art museums we've selected instead.
Certainly worth a visit anytime of year, but particularly in summer where your group can lounge on the lawns or grab a chair and recharge in the shade.

This museum houses some of Picasso's personal collection including celebrated French artists Cezanne and Matisse—in addition to the 3000 pieces from the prolific artist himself.
Get lost amongst 5 floors of paintings, sculpture and decorative arts in a stunning former railway station right on the Seine. Notable artists include Monet, Cezanne, Toulouse-Lautrec & Van Gogh.
Keep an eye out for these decorative shopping arcades from the 1800s if you find yourself in the 2nd district. The most impressive of the bunch? Passage des Panoramas & Galerie Vivienne.
If you want to add a weird and wonderful visit to your trip to Paris, your students are sure to be intrigued by these underground ossuaries. The bones of six million people line the walls of these creepy tunnels. Not for the faint of heart! (Schools must directly book & pay for this visit.).
Take a guided tour of the national stadium of France, used to host the French national football team and French rugby union team. This is sure to be a highlight for the football fans in your class.
When groups want to factor in some free time for shopping, we recommend the centrally-located Les Halles. Step straight off the metro and into the mall, home to many recognisable brands.
Designed by Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano, the Pompidou Centre's "inside-out" design with its exposed structural elements and brightly colored tubes, is a striking landmark and great spot for a group photo. Note the viewing terrace and main exhibition spaces are closed for renovation until 2030.

This grandiose palace was once home to French monarch Louis XIV. Beneath the face value of the immaculate gardens and halls, there is historical significance for groups studying the world wars as the Treaty of Versailles, which officially ended WWI, was signed here.

The Carnavalet Museum in Paris is dedicated to the history of the city. The museum occupies two neighboring mansions: the Hôtel Carnavalet and the former Hôtel Le Peletier de Saint Fargeau. On the advice of Baron Haussmann, the civil servant who transformed Paris in the latter half of the 19th century, the Hôtel Carnavalet was purchased by the Municipal Council of Paris in 1866; it was opened to the public in 1880.
The stunning Grande Galerie de l'Évolution at the Natural History Museum in Paris offers students an immersive look at biodiversity and evolution. Interactive exhibits showcase species adaptations and human impact on nature, fostering curiosity and environmental awareness in learners. The surrounding gardens house huge glasshouses where students can wander through a tropical forest, a desert, or the unique ecosystem of New Caledonia. The final glasshouse traces the evolution of plant life using fossils and modern descendants of ancient vegetation.
This hip cultural centre and its free permanent collection of contemporary art is definitely worth a wander through. Check it out on your way to or from the Eiffel Tower—a 15 min walk away.
This often-overlooked treasure in Tuileries Garden displays 8 spectacular panels of Monet's Water Lilies across 2 elliptical rooms—plus a seriously impressive collection of Impressionist art.
A day or two of fun and thrills at this theme park is a staple for any school trip to Paris. Our top tip for teachers is to add a day of magic at Disneyland® Paris to maximise the number of students who sign up for the trip!

The students came back a lot more confident. It was a chance for them to test themselves and grow in a safe environment. It was all very smooth and they felt really supported by our animateur.David Whelpton, MFL Teacher at Newick C of E Primary School
Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for arranging a brilliant trip to France last week. Staff and children alike had a really enjoyable time in Paris and learned a lot. The programme was busy and I feel we made good use of our time there and achieved a great balance between work and rest. Juju's involvement was hugely appreciated by me and by the children. He is a fantastic animateur, he's got so much energy and I was pleased that he insisted on high standards of the children's French.Anna Rippe, Head of French at Thomas's School, Fulham
It is important for me to be guided all the way, from booking, talking through details, to actually being guided on site. Having extra adults made the experience so less stressful. … I would not have been able to do this by myself, as it was a massive responsibility to lead an international residential trip, it is important to be supported by a competent team! So a massive thank you to the whole team!Eulalia Ribot-Bruno, MFL Teacher at Clifton High School
