“My top pick of things to see and do”
Paris is packed with immersive opportunities to practise your French, but here are a few standout experiences I always recommend for language groups:
Arc de Triomphe
At the end of the impressive Champs Elysees, this famous landmark was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 as a tribute to his victories.
Eiffel Tower
Probably the most famous of all the Paris landmarks, the Eiffel Tower majestically overlooks all of Paris.
French Language Lessons
Teachers, who are specialised in teaching French as a Foreign Language, make use of dynamic and communicative methods that are designed to develop oral expression and pronunciation, acquisition of grammatical structures and vocabulary with the support of various audio-visual and written materials.
French movie with English subtitles
Lost in Frenchlation offers private screenings of French films with English subtitles in a typical Parisian cinema to allow groups to learn about French language, culture and style through one of the country’s most well-known arts!

At the end of the impressive Champs Elysees, this famous landmark was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 as a tribute to his victories. Accessed by a subway, there is also an excellent view from the top. A must when you are in Paris.
Eiffel Tower
Probably the most famous of all the Paris landmarks, the Eiffel Tower majestically overlooks all of Paris. On language school trips to Paris, you can enhance your visit by taking a cruise on the Seine, conveniently starting at the foot of the Eiffel Tower with Bateaux Parisiens. The tower features three levels, accessible by foot or by lift, offering a memorable experience for students.
