We set off to explore the Louvre, Centre Pompidou and Musée d’Orsay, uncovering the stories behind the most famous paintings. At Galeries Lafayette, we even enjoy a full makeover.

We read the map ourselves and learn how the metro system works. We criss-cross the city on foot and by metro for a real Paris Express adventure. We wrap up the day on top of the Eiffel Tower, taking in the breathtaking view!

We climb up Montmartre and dive into the world of the Moulin Rouge, Amélie Poulain and Picasso’s life in Paris. We end the evening on the steps of the Sacré Coeur with a fun “water cantus”—guaranteed to boost the group spirit!

We enjoy a boat trip on the Seine or relax at Paris Plage on the Île de la Cité. In the evenings, we unwind with an intimate soirée in the gardens of Palais Royal or a French-style evening on the Esplanade in front of the hotel.

On the final day, we take the RER to Disneyland Paris! The perfect ending to an unforgettable week.

And in summer, Paris is bursting with things to do: a funfair near the Louvre, open-air cinema at Les Invalides, a party on a Seine riverboat, a festival in La Défense or free concerts during Paris Plage.

For our language camp in Paris, we deliberately chose a comfortable and reliable 3-star hotel: ibis Paris La Défense Centre. Located on the edge of Paris, in the modern La Défense district, the hotel is the perfect base for exploring the French capital. Positioned between the Grande Arche and the Arc de Triomphe, it places us close to many of the city’s most famous landmarks.

One of its greatest advantages is the excellent metro connection: the Esplanade de la Défense station (line 1) is just a short walk away and takes us within minutes to the Palais des Congrès, the Champs-Élysées, the historic centre, and several major train connections. This way, we don’t lose time commuting and can fully immerse ourselves in the city and the language.

The hotel features a restaurant, bar and comfortable rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. Some rooms offer views of the Seine, adding a unique Parisian atmosphere. In the morning, we start the day with an extensive breakfast buffet before heading out for our activities in the city.

A language camp in Paris is the perfect way to truly put your French into practice. In this vibrant world city, you don’t just learn to speak with confidence — you use the language in real situations: on the metro, in shops, during interviews with locals, or while completing challenges throughout the city.

Together, we learn how the Paris metro works: reading the map, planning routes and making smooth transfers. On foot and by metro, we criss-cross the entire city during our own “Paris Express,” discovering Paris the way only real Parisians do.

And of course, we finish with a highlight: at the top of the Eiffel Tower, where you enjoy an unforgettable view over the city.

After this language camp, you’ll know Paris inside and out — and you’ll speak French with confidence, like a true Parisien or Parisienne.

During our city trip to Paris, French is the main language from morning until evening. The city becomes the backdrop for our language workshops and activities. We regularly head into the streets to talk with locals and tourists. Together, we climb Montmartre, following in the footsteps of famous artists. We enjoy a boat ride on the Seine, take part in a quiz with passers-by to learn everything about the Eiffel Tower, and explore the Louvre or the Musée d’Orsay. And the cherry on top: a visit to Disneyland. Young or old, this trip is for everyone!

Paris plays a central role in the language workshops: historical role-plays, music and films with the city in the spotlight, street interviews, debates on current French topics, and a Time’s Up featuring French characters…
