French School Trips for Student Groups
These French immersion school travel programs give students time to hear and use French in French-speaking places, from Paris and Québec to Dakar and the Swiss Alps. Five programs run 6 to 9 days, with starting prices from $2,200 to $4,555 per student, excluding international airfare.
Each program is a starting point. We adjust the dates, length and focus to your school’s learning goals. Open any program to see the day-by-day itinerary, or use the filters to narrow the list.
Four of the five programs state how French fits into the program:
| Program | Days | From | French in the program |
|---|---|---|---|
| Québec: French in Everyday Life | 6 | $2,200 | One prebooked French lesson matched to the group’s level, plus a French conversation session. |
| Dakar in French: History, Art and Everyday Life | 7 | $2,645 | Four hours of French instruction. |
| French in Practice: Nice and Monaco | 7 | $3,690 | Four French-language mornings in level-matched classes. |
| Paris: Art, Food, and the City | 7 | $3,790 | Students use French in markets and museums; French is in the learning focus (no class hours stated). |
Days follow each sample itinerary and may include travel to or from the destination. Nights count from the U.S. departure to the departure from the destination, so an overnight flight out is included and the flight home is not. Your proposal confirms the dates and overnight plan.
