FAQs about French language school tours

What are the benefits of a French language school trip?

Outside of the full language immersion that comes from engaging with locals in authentic situations, your class can also enjoy a confidence boost, improved grammar and vocabulary, and improved cultural understanding after a trip to France.

NGT’s French school trips are organised by experts familiar with the local area, who can tailor your trip to your year group and subject, with activities that support MFL learning goals. We also offer 24/7 assistance when you need it, as well as safeguarding support. 

Spring (April-May) is best for school trips to Paris, where you can enjoy mild weather and fewer crowds as you explore Montmartre, Versailles, and famous landmarks within the city. An autumn school trip (September-November) also includes thinner crowds and lower travel costs than a summer trip, but the weather can be more bracing, so make sure your class packs for cold and rain.
