Stade de France

A visit to the iconic Stade de France is an unmissable experience for any school sports tour to Paris, offering students a unique glimpse into one of the world’s most legendary stadiums. As the national stadium of France, it has played host to countless historic moments – from the 1998 FIFA World Cup Final to its recent role on the global stage as a key venue during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The behind-the-scenes tour takes your group through the players’ tunnel, changing rooms, and pitch-side areas, giving students the chance to walk in the footsteps of world-class athletes and Olympians.

More than just a stadium, the Stade de France is a symbol of sporting excellence and inspiration – a place where history, passion, and international sport come together to ignite ambition in the next generation..

Olympic Sports Taster Sessions

As part of the trip, students will take part in exciting Olympic sports taster sessions in Handball and Judo. Led by experienced coaches in professional sporting environments, these sessions give students the opportunity to develop new skills, learn the fundamentals of each sport, and experience training in disciplines that feature on the Olympic stage.

Handball is a fast-paced team sport combining speed, coordination and teamwork, while Judo introduces students to a discipline centred around technique, balance and controlled movement. Both sports have strong Olympic traditions and offer an engaging opportunity for students to try something different.

These taster sessions provide an active and memorable addition to the tour, allowing students to connect with the sporting legacy of Paris 2024 while experiencing two Olympic disciplines for themselves.
