Rugby Tour to Paris - clubs & schools

Smile Group Travel is delighted to offer rugby tours to the French capital, catering for clubs and school groups of all ages and abilities.

Play Paris!

Smile has more than a decade of experience taking tours to the French capital, so we know what it takes to lay on the perfect trip.

Split your time between playing appropriate opposition at high-quality facilities and exploring the city of love: from boat rides up the Seine to hikes to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

What's more, Smile have a partnership with Disneyland Paris, ensuring we can provide exceptional access to Europe's best theme park. 


Why should my club or school go on rugby tour to Paris?

Paris is a short flight from a number of UK airports, or it can be accessed by coach or train. 

France has a rich rugby heritage, and the local rugby scene in Paris is vast, allowing for the provision of opposition of all sorts of standards. 


What is there to do away from the rugby?

As an official partner of Disneyland Paris, we have access to top lodging and theme park excursions, the perfect day trip opportunity for school groups.

We can sort landmark tours to see the sights, such as Notre Dame and the Arc de Triomphe. 

Check the matchday calendar to see if there's a chance to take in action at the Stade de France, or simply spend the afternoon admiring the historic architecture of this incredible city. 


Why should we travel with Smile Group Travel?

Smile have been running tours to Paris for years.

We plan the itinerary meticulously to ensure that our groups get the best possible tour, so every tourist returns with wonderful experiences of playing rugby in France and, crucially, a greater understanding and appreciation of this wonderful country.

Our strong connections on the ground in Paris can organise for your team to be coached by professionals during your stay in the city.

"I was very impressed with Smile and would recommend to other schools."

"All the representatives from Smile and their team in Cape Town, were excellent. They were very professional, helpful, supportive and all-round good people. They ensured that the tour was fully inclusive and immersive in South Africa culture, including daily information on the areas we visited and the history. Thank you for making it an excellent tour for our students."

Rob Kench, Director of Sport - Scarborough College, Girls' Hockey Tour: Cape Town

"Excellent experience."

“It was my first time in Barbados and for me, it was a fantastic tour from start to finish! Superbly organised by Don Topley and his team, it provided the right balance between the cricket, organised events, socialising and personal relaxation time. Don's intimate knowledge of the island was a real plus with his island tour being an excellent experience. Well done Smile Group Travel!”
