There’s no better way to get your students talking French than by taking them to France!

For students learning French, a French school trip to France provides the opportunity to immerse themselves in the French language and culture. This exciting language experience not only allows them to put their skills into practice by speaking French with native speakers but will also encourage a real passion for the language, as they realise how it can open up new cultural experiences for them.

All our French trips are tailor made but can be categorised into two types – French Language Culture Tours and French Language Study Tours.

French Language Culture Tours

Our French Language Culture Tours combine cultural activities with sightseeing and are ideal for introducing your students to the French language and culture.

Your students will get a real confidence boost from using their French on an everyday basis to explore the local culture.

We offer this type of trip all over France, including Paris, Normandy, the Opal Coast, the Loire and Nice. You could even choose to combine your trip with a visit to one of France’s excellent theme parks, including Disneyland® Paris, Parc Astérix and Futuroscope.

French Language Study Tours

Our French Language Study Tours include language lessons and host family accommodation (in selected locations), providing a total immersion experience.

This option tends to be most popular among groups preparing for exams, although it’s ideal for any group who are keen to spend some of their time in France focusing on improving their level of French.

Lessons take place in closed groups, so you’ll be able to discuss lesson content with the teacher before you travel. And teachers at the language schools are all highly-qualified, native French speakers.

Lessons usually take place in the mornings, with the afternoons spent enjoying carefully selected cultural activities that allow students to put their language skills into practice.

We can arrange this type of tour in a variety of cities around France, from Rouen and Paris in the North, to Montpellier and Nice in the South. We also have a great partner language school in Lyon, if you prefer a more central location.

Why arrange a French school trip?

Get them talking!

Founded by a former French teacher and with many linguists among us, we know from first-hand experience that there is no better way to get your students speaking French than with a school trip to France!

The opportunity to use French on an everyday basis with native French speakers, and to use the language to explore the city and culture, is an experience that students never forget.

Using their French and being understood by native speakers will give their confidence in their language skills an incredible boost. And the experience as a whole is bound to leave them with a greater appreciation of the advantages that speaking another language can offer them.

Immerse them in the French culture

A French school trip offers students the opportunity to explore the rich culture of one of our closest neighbours. The geographical and historical proximity of the two countries means that there’s much we share in common, and discovering those things, as well as our cultural differences, will be a profoundly memorable experience for your students.

On your French school trip to France, we’ll ensure that your itinerary is tailored to suit your specific requirements and learning objectives. We’ll work closely with you to ensure that your trip is packed full of exciting cultural experiences that help your students better understand the French culture.

We can arrange trips to a variety of destinations throughout France, all of which we’ve visited ourselves and know well.

So, whether you want your students to enjoy all that a chic city such as Paris, Nice or Lyon has to offer, or prefer somewhere a little quieter, such as the Opal Coast or Normandy, our range of destinations will ensure that your group enjoys an unforgettable French school trip that leaves them with a passion for all things Gallic!

Enjoy the trip as much as your students

Originally founded by former teachers, and with many former teachers still among us, we understand the value of French school trips and how to make them successful.

Your trip will be completely tailor made, to ensure that it meets your specific requirements and learning objectives. And we’ll be on hand throughout the process to answer any questions you have.

In fact, we’ll be with you every step of the way, from now until you return home at the end of your trip. While abroad, you’ll be able to reach us with just one phone call, at any time of the day or night. And, with this comprehensive level of support while you’re away, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy experiencing French in action as much as your students.
