The classic sights of Paris; the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Sacré Coeur and Notre Dame are, justifiably, the main areas of focus of most school trips while the more recent ones; the Pompidou Centre, the glass pyramid in front of the Louvre and the Grande Arche at La Défense also appear on many groups’ excursion wish lists. In addition, the attractions of Parc Astérix and Disneyland® Resort Paris, as well as the royal palaces of Versailles and Fontainebleau, are easily accessible from our centres both in central Paris and on the outskirts.
