Île de la Cité is one of only two remaining river islands located in Paris, with history dating as far back as the 4th century when it was the site of a Roman fortress. Today, students can be inspired by the world-famous Notre-Dame cathedral, La Conciergerie and the royal chapel of Sainte Chapelle, as well as the city's oldest surviving bridge, the Pont Neuf.

One of Paris’ most famous public squares, the Place de la Concorde is the largest in the French capital, set at the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées. Where the public executions of King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette once took place now stand eight statues, symbolising the largest and most significant cities in France.

Offering students a unique olfactory journey in the very heart of Paris, the historic location of Théâtre-Musée des Capucines flows with the spirit and character that classic perfumer Fragonard wanted to preserve.

A world-class sport and event venue, the Stade de France is the national stadium of France and the training grounds for both the French rugby and football teams.

Visit the site of Paris's most famous landmark and the symbol of France – the Eiffel Tower. Built in 1889 by Gustave Eiffel, this engineering masterpiece dazzles at night, rightly earning its place at the centre of the ‘City of Lights’. We also recommend taking some time to explore the nearby Trocadero Gardens and its famous Fountain of Warsaw.

Running between the Place de la Concorde in the east and the Place Charles de Gaulle and Arc de Triomphe in the west, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées fills almost two kilometres with theatres, cafes and luxury shopping – with everything from Louis Vuitton to Zara to Ladurée macarons.

The seat of the Paris City Council since 1357, the spectacular Hotel de Ville de Paris is a sight to behold for student groups visiting the French capital.
