This document provides information about an educational trip to Paris for staff and students. The trip will focus on visiting important art museums and landmarks like the Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, and Jeu de Paume to inform students' exam projects and research ideas. In addition to educational sites, the group will also enjoy some cultural and tourist activities like a Seine River cruise. The group will stay in a hotel with en-suite rooms and breakfast included. Students are reminded to bring necessary documents like a passport and EHIC, appropriate clothing for cold weather and walking, a journal for notes, and money for meals and shopping.

26. •A journal/ notebook / sketchbook and writing/drawing equipment.
Don’t forget; the purpose of the visit is to research ideas for your
current and future projects.
•Passport and EHIC.
• Euros – you will need money for lunches, snacks and to buy
postcards etc. Be aware that the rate of exchange is constantly
fluctuating and that Paris is never cheap. (It is of course entirely your
choice how much spending money to bring).
•Warm clothes (including a coat) and waterproof shoes. Paris in mid-
February is likely to be cold and there will be lots of walking outside.
If you wear the equivalent of slippers you will have cold feet!
•Mobile phone (with a charger) and camera. Try not to have too much
paraphernalia with your camera and bear in mind that you will need
to keep it secure. Paris is no better or worse than other capital cities
for the risk of pickpocketing – especially at tourist destinations such
as the Louvre.
