Where we go in France

Every itinerary below is a starting point. Days move, nights come off, activities swap — the version you show parents is the version you asked for.

Paris
France Coming soon!

Paris

Language & Art

Six nights inside the périphérique, not a suburban airport hotel. Students commute by Métro like Parisians, because that is the lesson.

Paused while we re-open international departures. Waitlist leaders get first pick when Paris returns.

Why we recommend it

  • Central lodging means students ride the Métro like Parisians
  • Language departments fill waitlists a year ahead for a reason
  • Louvre and Orsay seminars beat a drive-by photo stop
  • Scalable: Essentials, Immersion, or Normandy extension

On the ground

  • Louvre
  • Eiffel Tower
  • Panthéon
  • Musée d'Orsay
  • Montmartre
  • Versailles

Normandy & Loire
France Coming soon!

Normandy & Loire

WWII & Heritage

Omaha Beach at low tide, Mont-Saint-Michel at dusk, Honfleur for lunch. History that students physically stand inside.

Paused alongside Paris while we re-open international departures. Chaperones ask when it is coming back.

Why we recommend it

  • Students stand on the same sand as the textbook chapter
  • Emotional depth chaperones say they cannot recreate in class
  • Bolts onto Paris without a second international flight
  • Mont-Saint-Michel and Loire châteaux close the heritage arc

On the ground

  • D-Day beaches
  • Mont-Saint-Michel
  • Étretat cliffs
  • Honfleur
  • American Cemetery
  • Loire châteaux

France questions

What school trips does GLOBAL Educational Tours run in France?

France is opening soon. Nothing is bookable yet, but you can join the waitlist and we will send dates and pricing before they are published.

How far ahead should we book a France school trip?

Eight to twelve months for France. International departures need the longer runway for flights, passports and family payment plans.

What is included in the price of a France trip?

Transport, accommodation, listed meals, every activity on the itinerary, local guides, taxes and gratuities. The per-student number you show parents is the number they pay. Optional extras such as an insurance upgrade are always priced separately.

How many chaperones travel free to France?

One free place per twelve paying students on international departures. Groups over sixty receive an additional complimentary place.

Does planning a France trip cost anything?

No. Building itineraries, comparing destinations, running an interest page and sharing quotes with families is free, with no card on file. You pay only once you confirm a departure and travellers begin their payment plans.

Somewhere else?

Start a France trip. It costs nothing to ask.

Tell us the group size, the month you have in mind and the budget you are working to. A planner writes back — usually within one business day.
