France Explorer
For youth groups
Welcome to France
There’s simply nothing to beat a trip to France - the Eiffel tower, a fresh warm croissant, the hustle and bustle of a French market. A trip to France widens horizons and introduces your group to a vibrant and exciting culture.
We help you organise a tailor-made programme of excursions, advising you on our most popular trips and the trips that best meet your group’s needs.
To ensure you feel completely at ease and get the most out of your trip, a PGL Tour Leader accompanies you and your group on your excursions. Their experience and knowledge are invaluable and they provide a little more reassurance for you when you have a group of young people abroad.
Activities
Excursions
Getting out there is what it’s all about. It’s the perfect introduction to the history, culture and lifestyle in France, brought to life with PGL to inspire and motivate your group.
Adventure: The PGL Bonus
Bring out the best in your group with unique PGL adventure sessions that will promote teamwork, communication and leadership skills. They help to strengthen the dynamics of your group, complementing your excursion programme perfectly.
An Evening Programme
For even more PGL value, you’ll love the themed activities (such as making crêpes) that give your group even more to take home as well as keeping them engaged and entertained well into the evening.
