A view of the Eiffel Tower in Paris

Paris, la ville de l’amour!

The heart of France attracts more than 30 million visitors each year. There’s a reason it’s one of the most popular destinations in Europe, as few cities boast such a rich history and collection of museums, restaurants, landmarks, and art.

School trips to Paris will make an impression on your pupils whether it be the essentials, like the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre Museum, and the Arc de Triomphe. Or maybe the path less travelled with hidden gems like the Catacombs for the morbidly curious, 59 Rivoli for the art fanatics, or strolling next to the Seine watching the street performers. There is something to fall in love with for everyone, that’s the allure of Paris.

As you saunter down the boulevards or jump aboard the Bateaux Mouches to see the iconic sights, there’s one thing apparent about Paris, there’s always more to discover. Whatever your goals may be, Rayburn Tours are here to make your dream trip a reality with tailor-made itineraries crafted by our expert consultants.

Top tips for school trips to Paris

Accommodation

Accommodation can be expensive in the city; however, we have got you covered! We can offer accommodation just outside of the city centre. Great for coach tours as you will have access to your coach for the duration of your tour to drop off and pick up at key points in the city. We offer a variety of hotels just outside the centre such as Hotel Reseda Paris Porte de Bagnolet and the Ibis Paris Issy-les-Moulineaux Val de Seine which are perfect for coach tours.
If you would prefer to fly to Paris, we can offer something more central to make walking around the city easier for you. Recommendations would be Auberge de Jeunesse Yves Robert or the Campanile Porte de Bagnolet Est.

Bring comfy shoes!

The best mode of transport around Paris is walking. You can then take yourself on a self-guided walk around the city with a landmark around every corner. So bring a comfy pair of shoes as you’ll be getting your daily steps in!

Backpacks

Small bags are recommended for Paris, as most activities and museums will not allow backpacks. A small bag for your pocket money and your phone would be perfect for exploring Paris.
