A business studies school trip to Paris offers your students the opportunity to explore France’s economic centre and the fifth-largest urban economy in Europe!

It's also the home of the Paris Stock Exchange (Bourse), the Atelier Renault, Rungis Wholesale Market, Disneyland® Paris, the Stade de France and the RATP (underground railway network).
