Closed September 2025 until 2030

Centre Pompidou is currently closed while major renovation and modernisation works are carried out, with plans to reopen in 2030. In spring 2027, a new space entirely dedicated to creation and conservation will open in Massy, Essonne: the Centre Pompidou Francilien – fabrique de l’art, located approximately 12 miles south of the city centre.

Paris’ best-known monument has outstanding city views, which on a clear day can stretch for 42 miles. On a French language school trip to Paris, students can identify many of the capital’s iconic landmarks from its viewing platforms, such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Seine River, and Sacré-Cœur.

An enjoyable river cruise along the Seine offers a relaxing and unique perspective on the iconic sights of Paris. As the boat glides past landmarks such as Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower, students can learn about each one from the French (or English) commentary on their headsets.

Montmartre provides an opportunity for students to practise their language skills with its many street stalls and street artists, shops and cafés. Once a meeting place for artists in the late 19th and early 20th century, your group can also view artists painting portraits and caricatures for the tourists and enjoy a spectacular view of Paris from the steps of the Sacré Coeur.

Take a step inside a traditional Parisian theatre and spend an evening amongst the locals, at a French play with English subtitles. In the heart of Paris, see a play from one of a variety of genres; enjoy a classic love story, a modern French comedy or some musical theatre, all without missing a single word! From September 2018 - June 2019 groups can see Chicago Le Musical at Theatre Mogador.

Lost in Frenchlation's private screenings of French films with English subtitles, in a typical Parisian cinema, offers groups the opportunity to learn about French language, culture and style through one of the country's most well-renown arts! You can request movies relevant to the group's curriculum (subject to availability). If you want the perfect combination of entertainment and education, we look forward to seeing you at the cinema!
