Educational visits and attractions
[complete a slide with each of the visits you are planning to do, you can use the
text and pictures from your quote and destination guide, for example:]
Eiffel Tower
The instantly recognisable symbol of Paris, The Eiffel Tower can
be seen from almost any point in the city and the view from the
top is truly awe-inspiring. It dominates Paris to such an extent
that it's hard to believe it's only a little over a century old having
been built in 1889 to celebrate the centenary of the French revolution.
No trip to Paris would be complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower.

range from the ancient world to the twentieth century, with the
Pyramid and CyberLouvre multimedia gallery bringing the collection

The Mona Lisa's Enigmatic smile.
