An art school trip to Paris offers your students the opportunity to enjoy not only the architecture and art of this magnificent capital city, but also its beauty, romance and food!
Paris is home to some of the world’s largest and most famous museums, including the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay. Your art students will have the opportunity to see some of the world’s most celebrated artworks for themselves, from the Mona Lisa to the Impressionist works of Monet and Renoir.
Small group? Why not join forces with the French, science, food tech, fashion or business studies departments to make this a cross-curricular school trip?
