Paris Maths School Trips & Tours

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.

For those groups interested in studying the architecture of the city, why not take an Architecture Tour of Paris?

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.

After 5 years of restoration, this stunning cathedral is reopening it's doors following the devistating fire in 2019. This stunning cathedral, like all medieval churches, was painted on the inside so a largely illiterate population could learn the Bible stories.
