Rugby Tours to France

Experience rugby at its best

Varying levels of opposition to suit all sides
From £589pp i

Rugby is one of France’s most popular sports and the youth game is strong around Paris, which is where we base our groups. Working closely with our fixture agent who has links with most rugby clubs in and around the capital, we have the best chance of matching you against teams of the same level. When you’re not on the pitch, inspire your students with a tour of the Stade de France, home of the French national team.

  • What happens if our flight operators/transport providers cease to trade whilst we are on tour?

    By booking your tour package with us, you are fully covered in the event that you are unable to return home should your transport provider fail to operate i.e. it goes into liquidation. As your operator it is our responsibility to ensure that alternative arrangements are made to repatriate you and your group to the UK.

  • Is all of your accommodation audited in advance?

    Yes, all of our accommodation is audited prior to us offering it to a group. The criterion of these audits is governed by the School Travel Forum (STF). It is important to remember that each country is governed by their own standards and laws and these may differ from UK law. However, we require our accommodation to meet our standards as a minimum. We work with the hotels and agents to endeavour to ensure that our standards are met.
