About this school trip

Lille is an excellent destination for a first study trip to France. The city is relatively close, yet your students experience French language and culture to the full. Around the Grand'Place and in the old centre, Vieux-Lille, they see Flemish and French influences come together. That makes Lille a fine example of a cross-border European region, where France and Belgium have long been closely intertwined.

The Palais des Beaux-Arts on the Place de la République opened in 1892 and has been a listed monument since 1975. The museum displays French and European paintings, sculptures and drawings. The city also tells the story of the textile industry that made Lille great: a good starting point for lessons on industrial heritage and how the region has changed. With short tasks in French, students practise their language skills for real.

We are happy to provide transport for you and your students to Lille. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver, with a rest stop along the way, your group travels there and back safely and relaxed.
