School Art Trip to Paris
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.

Great destination. Highlights were – the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the mathematical walking tour, rafting, the Da Vinci Museum and the cinema. We had a fantastic maths trip and loved Pisa and Florence. Halsbury were incredibly helpful and efficient from start to finish – I can’t recommend them highly enough.— Denmark Road High School for Girls
