This November, our A Level French students enjoyed an unforgettable three day trip to Paris, a city bursting with art, history and inspiration.

Day 1 began at Le Marché des Enfants Rouges, Paris’s oldest market, where students used their French to complete a scavenger hunt and order savoury crêpes. In the afternoon, they explored the Musée du Louvre, locating masterpieces using French clues, before ending the day with dinner overlooking the sparkling Eiffel Tower.

Day 2 started with visits to Notre-Dame and Pont Neuf, followed by Christmas shopping at Galeries Lafayette. The highlight was attending a live musical adaptation of La Haine, the film students are studying for their A Level which offers an incredible cultural and linguistic experience.

Day 3 saw visits to the Champs-Élysées and Arc de Triomphe before returning home with memories to last a lifetime, as you can see from some of our students quotes below:
