• Paris is an inspirational city for art and art history school trips. Teachers looking to broaden students' artistic horizons and develop their understanding of great artists don't have to take their classes far. In Paris, groups can visit some of the best galleries in the world, pausing for coffee in the cafés in Montmartre where some of the most important artists of the 20th century developed their ideas.

    Subject Focus:

    • KS 3-5: Students can see a wide range of art in some of the most important art museums in the world.
    • KS 3-5: Students can learn about the city that has provided the context for so much inspirational artwork throughout history.
    • KS 3-5: Students can find inspiration for their own work.
    • KS 5: Students can explore and evaluate how issues such as presentation have been addressed for some of the most famous works.

    Student Outcomes:

    • Students can view a wide range of inspiring presentations and media.
    • An understanding of the inspirations and techniques behind Parisian work is developed as well as observing the critical reactions of the time.
    • Students' own work will benefit from the range of influences at their disposal.
  • The Eiffel Tower

    What school trip would be complete without visiting one of the most iconic structures in human history? The Eiffel Tower stands at 324 metres watching over the city of Paris. Named after its designer Gustave Eiffel and with unbeatable views, students’ educational trips will be greatly enhanced and memories made to inspire for a lifetime.

  • Carnavalet Museum

    Paintings, furniture, sculptures and city models all feature within this museum dedicated to the history of Paris. The location, in the Marais neighborhood, means that there are also plenty of interesting shops, restaurants and sights located nearby.

  • Orangerie Museum

    Renoir, Cezanne, Matisse, Monet and Picasso are all represented within this small, yet perfectly formed, collection of 144 paintings. Audiophones provide a handy tour guide.

  • Dali Museum

    As this museum contains the largest collection of Dali's sculptures in France as well as all of his hand signed etchings it is reasonable to say that art groups interested in surrealism shouldn't miss this! Teacher resources and guided tours are available.

  • Bateaux Mouches Boat Trip

    The Eiffel tower, Notre-Dame and the Louvre, amongst many other sites, can all be seen on-deck and guided commentaries and lunch complement the experience.

  • Cité des Sciences

    Europe's biggest science museum has one goal: to spread scientific and technical knowledge amongst the public.

  • Montparnasse Cemetery

    The burial place for great authors from Baudelaire to Sartre, students can reflect on and explore the enduring importance of these authors and their influence.

  • Maison de Victor Hugo

    The author of many works of classic French literature, among others Les Misérables, students of Victor Hugo's literature will be fascinated by this visit to the home where he wrote many of his best work.

  • Rodin Museum

    Displays works by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. Rodin used the Hôtel Biron as his residence from 1908, and subsequently donated his entire collection of sculptures to the French state on the condition that they turn the building into a museum dedicated to his works. Many of his sculptures are displayed in the museum's extensive garden.

  • Jeu De Paume

    The creation of art requires fluency in a number of media. Jeu de Paume will inspire students interested in photographic media, moving or still, showing them that art is not simply created by hand and nor does it have to be static.

  • Musée Picasso

    Discover Picasso's work through the many periods of his life. This collection allows students to trace his development and influences, as well as being able to see a collection of his contemporaries' artwork. This is a great opportunity to see a snapshot of how Western European art has developed through the twentieth century.

  • Musée du Louvre

    The largest museum in the world, home of the Mona Lisa along with works by masters from the most important, influential and exciting movements in the world, as well as essentially French works such as those by Jacques-Louis David. Teachers looking to expand their students' contextual studies and influences can also explore the museum's vast collection of Islamic art and artefacts from the Middle East.

  • Musée D'Orsay

    For those looking for a specifically French experience, the Musée D'Orsay's collection is unparalleled. Renoir, Monet and Cézanne are just a few of the famous French names represented, while Van Gogh and Whistler bring a slightly different flavour to the paintings and sculptures.
