Paris Fashion and Culture Trip
French road signs
You will gain a unique perspective of Paris on this tour guided by LCF staff. It will reaffirm why the city is synonymous with fashion, culture and style.
We’ll go on a boat trip along the Seine, past the main sites including The Tuilerie Gardens, The Louvre, Notre Dame, and The Eiffel Tower. This will help you familiarise yourself with the layout of the city. You’ll visit a food market, to understand about French food. We will take you to the famous flea market of Clignancourt and will show you designer boutiques and introduce you to exclusive shopping districts of The Rue St Honore and The Palais Royale. You’ll experience the special ‘Frenchness’ of Montmartre and you’ll fall in love with the ‘Marais’. There’ll be free time to explore, so you can do all those ‘touristy’ things as well (The Eiffel Tower, The Arc de Triomphe and of course The Louvre.
Where we go and what we do is always based on what’s happening in Paris at that time of year. It will always be exciting, relevant and a trip you will never forget.
The Paris trip is an integral part of the LCF Study Abroad experience and included in the course fee on all LCF Study Abroad programmes.
