The largest science museum in Europe, the Science City is packed with exhibits exploring man’s experiences with science and maths. Students can explore the varied and interactive exhibitions in Explora to discover more about themes such as light, sounds, genes and movement. Watch daily demonstrations and explore the universe with the planetarium, presented by astronomy specialists.

The museum also has a hands-on maths exhibition which includes a special section on the geometry of shapes, transformation of geometry and Euclidean geometry, in addition to new theories of mathematics. Download the dedicated maths resources from the Cité des Sciences website to enhance your tour.

A great place for students to bring maths to life in a setting where they may otherwise not have thought to look for it. Using our Maths Explorer learning resources, set your students tasks which will enable them to think differently about surface area, volume, symmetry and proportion. Use the Louvre’s Pyramid to look at volumes and patterns, then move on to the Mona Lisa and use maths to discover why this painting is considered to be so beautiful.

Both Disneyland® Park and Walt Disney Studios® Park provide a great environment for your students to work together, bond as a class and challenge their personal boundaries on a Disneyland Paris school trip.

Disneyland® Park 
Explore five themed lands filled with Disney classic stories: adrenalin packed thrill rides such as Big Thunder Mountain, Disney classics like Pirates of the Caribbean and Dumbo the Flying Elephant and many opportunities to meet your favourite Disney characters.

For maths groups, you can also use our Maths Explorer learning resources to get the very most from your visit!

For those groups interested in studying the architecture of the city, why not take an Architecture Tour of Paris? Travelling by coach, students can discover the main monuments of Paris such as the Louvre Museum, Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower and find out about the architectural aspect of these significant structures as well as more modern buildings such as the Louvre Glass Pyramid, Pompidou Modern Art Museum and the Defense Arc.

Or, why not visit the Cité de l’Architecture Museum? Located opposite the Eiffel Tower, this museum invites visitors on a real journey among the treasures of French architecture. The Cité de  l’Architecture et du Patrimoine gallery contains models of the most remarkable buildings of France’s last two centuries, presented in an easily accessible way to students. Look out for their fantastic online resources.

This 196m tower has shorter queues than the Eiffel Tower and a fabulous view of Paris. The viewpoint tables clearly mark the city’s many famous monuments. There are also a number of audio-visual and interactive facilities to help build language skills and enhance their knowledge of Paris, as well as downloadable quizzes in English and French. 

Use our Maths Resources from Paris Montparnasse – Top of the City to add an interactive mathematical element to the visit and encourage them to see the mathematics of the tower.

An enjoyable river cruise is a relaxing way to see the sights of Paris. Students also learn from the French (or English) commentary on their headsets.

Montmartre provides an opportunity for students to practise their language skills with its many street stalls and street artists, shops and cafés. Once a meeting place for artists in the late 19th and early 20th century, your group can also view artists painting portraits and caricatures for the tourists and enjoy a spectacular view of Paris from the steps of the Sacré Coeur.

Take your students behind-the-scenes of France’s premier stadium. Take a tour, in French or English, of the players’ tunnel, changing rooms, security facilities, pitch and photo museum.
