About this school trip

Lyon is a versatile destination for a study trip on gastronomy, film and urban development. The Villa Lumière, the former family home of the Lumière brothers, houses the museum of the Institut Lumière. Here your students discover how cinema was born in Lyon. It is no coincidence that the museum's street is called rue du Premier-Film.

A large part of the city, including Vieux Lyon, Fourvière hill and the slopes of the Croix-Rousse, has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1998. Through the traboules, covered passageways between streets, residents could once quickly reach the boats on the Saône. There are around five hundred of them, of which roughly eighty are open to the public. A great way into lessons on urban development. Lyon's rich food culture completes the trip, for example with tasks at a market.

We are happy to provide transport for you and your students to Lyon. Because of the long distance, we spread the journey over the day with generous rest stops or plan an overnight stay along the way. In our comfortable coach with experienced drivers, your group travels safely and relaxed.
