Outings, school trips, immersive weeks and sports days: built with you, item by item, from primary school to sixth form and university.
Five starting points, not a catalogue. Every project is built with you, from your subject, your year group and your constraints, and we remain open to formats you invent yourselves.
Our speakers lead the day on site, in direct contact with the place and with the participants. Depending on your aim, it serves your curriculum or the cohesion of the group: team games, group challenges and time to talk for a good start to the year.
Half a day or a full dayA stay taken care of in full: transport, accommodation, catering, speakers. The programme follows your subject (life and earth sciences, mathematics, languages, music, arts, sport or history) and is built with you.
From 2 daysFive days of working differently, around the theme of your choice: science, languages, arts, sport, environment or culture. The official curriculum transposed into the field: every subject finds its place.
5 consecutive daysTeach your lesson in another setting: a room made available for you, a library, a garden, a museum or an open-air site. We take care of the place and the logistics, and can add a specialist speaker on your theme.
Half a day or a full dayMeetings with company directors, researchers, elite athletes and professionals from every field. From secondary school to university: discovering careers, choosing a path, preparing for competitive exams and general knowledge.
Built to measureGiven as a guide, for a one-day school outing. Every programme is then adapted to your group, your year and your calendar constraints.

Introduction by the PERCEVAL speaker. Presentation of the place and of the day's programme.
A guided route adapted to the level of the class. Direct interaction with the place, the works or the space. Questions encouraged.
Packed lunch or a meal arranged on request, in a setting suited to the place being visited.
Hands-on activity or question-and-answer session with the speaker. Directly connected to the curriculum.
Time to share what the group has taken away. The speaker hands the teacher a set of teaching materials.
Return to school. A written report is sent to the teacher within 48 hours.

"The visit to Port-Royal-des-Champs organised by PERCEVAL transformed our unit on Jansenism. The pupils were gripped from beginning to end: the speaker knew the texts as well as the stones."
"Third year running with PERCEVAL for our week out of the classroom. The organisation is faultless and the pupils come back delighted."
Head of teaching, secondary school, Paris 16e"The trip to Normandy was timed to the minute. Not one detail left to chance. We will be back."

Get in touchFor a one-day school outing, we recommend at least 3 weeks. For a school trip or a week out of the classroom, allow 6 to 8 weeks so that venues and speakers can be secured.
Yes, that is the basis of how we work. During the first conversation you tell us your scheme of work, your year group and your objectives. We then build a route aligned with your unit, and send you the programme before it is confirmed.
We issue a quote that can be signed online. The invoice is addressed directly to the school. A 30% deposit is payable on booking, the balance 15 days before the date. Payment by bank transfer.
All our partner venues are reachable by school coach. For outings in the Paris region we can arrange transport on request. For trips, full transport logistics are included in our service.
Yes. Tell us during the first conversation about the specific needs of your group (reduced mobility, dyslexia and related needs, and so on). We adapt the pace and the teaching materials, and select accessible venues.
Absolutely. Many teachers choose to co-lead the outing alongside our speaker. In that case we prepare a coordination pack for you ahead of the date.
A first 20-minute conversation is enough. You come away with a concrete proposal matched to your curriculum and your constraints.
