Accommodation Hotel Ibis Budget - Marne La Vallee. 9, rue de Derrière la Montagne, 77500 Chelles France Breakfast is provided each morning. All lunches are provided for. The only meal students will need to need money for is an evening meal on the final day of the trip.

Coronavirus The government and World Health Organisation have advised that there is no reason not to travel to Paris. The Louvre has reduced the numbers that are being allowed in and our group is too large. Unless the governments of France or the UK declare a situation similar to Italy, we are still going. If that happens, WST have advised that pandemics are not insured so they will not issue refunds. Instead, they will aim to rearrange the trip for an alternative date. We will keep you up to date. Please look at the itinerary of day 3 to see what the alternative to the Louvre is.

Itinerary

Day 1 The majority of Day 1 is spent travelling to Paris. We will meet at school at 12am on Monday 30th March and travel overnight. When we arrive in Paris we will have an evening meal at Planet Hollywood in the Disney Village. Students are then free to explore once we have had our evening meal. It is probably a good idea NOT to buy anything from there and save it until Thursday when we are at Disney all day.

Day 2 - we are split in two Coach 1 Coach 2 In the morning we will visit the Eiffel tower In the morning coach 2 and the surrounding will be visiting Sacre area.

Day 3 - We are all one group Coach 1&2 As an alternative to the Louvre I have arranged for us to go to Versailles. Lunch is provided. Students will explore the palace and gardens in their groups with their group leader. The plans for the afternoon remain the same, we will be dropped off at the Arc De Triomphe and make our way down the Champs Elysees where students are free to shop. We will still walk to the Louvre but will not be able to enter.

Day 4 - We are reunited! Coach 1 & 2 This is the final day of the trip. We have all day at Disney Land. Vouchers are provided for students to get lunch. They may want to buy an evening meal (if they haven’t stocked up on sweet and junk all day) We then watch the fireworks, board the coaches and return home.

Returning Home Coach 1 & 2 The travel company have advised that we will return to Alder Grange at roughly 9am on Friday 3rd April. We will ask students to contact you throughout the journey home to keep you updated in case we are earlier or later. Students can then return home with you and begin their Easter holiday.

Money I would recommend that you work off the basis of 20 euros per day. Put each day’s money into separate envelopes. These can then be put into a larger envelope and left with your child’s group leader. We can then distribute it to your child each day. Alternatively you can give it all with them but it is at their own risk if they lose it/spend it all.
