About this school trip

Nice is a fascinating destination for a study trip on tourism, coastal geography and the French language. The city grew into a popular winter destination and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2021 as the winter resort town of the Riviera. The famous Promenade des Anglais along the Baie des Anges played a leading role in that story and is a superb starting point for lessons on how tourism developed.

Along the coast, your students investigate the landscape, the beach and the pressure tourism puts on a coastal city. In the city itself there are museums with big names, such as the Musée Matisse, with a collection of the painter's drawings, paintings and sculptures, and the Musée national Marc Chagall with its monumental works. With tasks in French at the markets and in the old town, they also practise their language skills.

We are happy to provide transport for you and your students to Nice. Because of the long distance, we plan an overnight stay along the way on both the outward and return journeys, so that the driver's driving and rest times are respected and your group arrives well rested. Our comfortable coach takes you safely to the Côte d'Azur.
