When you enquire, tell us your dream dates and we’ll try and make it work. Dates that fall outside our group date schedule will mean you travel as an unaccompanied minor. Don’t worry, you’ll still be greeted at airport by one of our representatives. If you’re thinking about travelling to see family in Europe before or after your program in France, then individual travel is your best option.

GETTING TO FRANCE
Students can either travel independently or as part of a group. Those traveling as part of a group are escorted by an AFX Student Exchange staff member or representative from Melbourne. Upon arrival in Paris, students are greeted at the airport by a member of our
French team and any host families located close to Paris.
We will organise chaperones, on our group travel dates and flights, from other departure cities than Melbourne only if we reach sufficient numbers.
If needed, you can also choose to travel to France with the group and return on a different date. If you’d like to travel in Europe or visit family at the end of your program, then individual travel is a great option for you.
