Day 1 - Arrival and Welcome to Paris
Depart from your home location and travel by coach to the city of Paris. Upon arrival in the afternoon or early evening, your group will check into their accommodation, where they will stay throughout the trip.

Day 2 - Exploring Impressionism and Modern Art
In the morning, students will visit the Musee Marmottan Monet, renowned for its impressive collection of Monet's works as well as work from other famous Impressionist painters. Here, they will participate in an interactive art workshop tailored specifically for students, allowing them to learn about the techniques used by Monet and other Impressionists. Later, head to the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, which houses a diverse collection of 20th and 21st-century art, including works by Picasso, Matisse, and Delaunay. This will give students the opportunity to explore modern art movements and understand their influence on contemporary design. For lunch, the group will enjoy a leisurely meal at a nearby cafe or restaurant, trying more French cuisine and discussing the artworks they have seen so far.

In the afternoon, students will take a memorable boat trip along the Seine River, offering stunning views of Paris's iconic landmarks such as Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, and other architectural marvels from the water - views that were often painted by famous artists of the past.

The day will end with a return to the accommodation for dinner, allowing students to reflect on their artistic discoveries and experiences.
