Excursions
Disneyland® Paris
For a day of magical escapism, take your group to Paris’ Disneyland Resort. This sprawling amusement park features a huge variety of Disney themed rollercoaster rides, live shows and attractions for every age group and thrill level – as well as everybody’s favourite Disney characters. We know your students will love this excursion.
Disneyland Paris Performing Arts Workshop
Students receive a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to develop performance techniques and teamwork alongside Disney professionals on this unique excursion. Over the course of 90 minutes, these high-energy workshops take groups through a Disney production number, leaving your class with new choreography and skills, as well as memories to last a lifetime.
Disneyland Paris Performance
Give your students the experience of a lifetime with this amazing opportunity to perform on a dazzling Disney stage! Groups will get the chance to stage a full 20-minute amateur instrumental, vocal, dance, musical theatre or marching band performance, and are required to go through a selection process before being accepted. For groups of at least 20 people, with a minimum of 10 performers.
Eiffel Tower & Trocadero at Leisure
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.
Arc de Triomphe
One of Paris’ most famous landmarks, the Arc de Triomphe is a magnificent monument built to commemorate Napoléon’s victory at Austerlitz. As well as honouring those who fought in the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, the arch stands atop the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from the First World War.
Champs-Elysees
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. Commonly regarded as the "most beautiful avenue in the world", the avenue is a must-visit for souvenir shopping and dining on your school trip to Paris.
Ile de la Cite
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.
Montmartre
We can’t wait to show you the charming district of Montmartre, which has been a firm favourite among Equity staff for years. Full of traditional Parisian patisseries and home of both the iconic Sacré-Coeur basilica and Moulin Rouge theatre, we recommend spending a whole afternoon exploring this wonderful part of Paris.
