School Fashion Trip to Paris

Take your students to Paris, the fashion capital of the world, on your next fashion school trip!

A fashion school trip to Paris offers your students the unforgettable opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of high fashion. You’ll be able to visit the Paris fashion markets, the Yves Saint Laurent Foundation, the Musée de la Mode et du Textile and many, many more.

And, of course, a school trip to Paris wouldn’t be complete without seeing its iconic landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and the Arc de Triomphe. You can, of course, also choose to make this a cross-curricular school trip, thanks to the many exciting possibilities Paris offers for French, art, science, food technology, business studies and history.
