Three family outings to discover the European Union in Brussels, Paris and the Yvelines
In its "School Break" section, Le Monde proposes three visit ideas to help children learn about the history and workings of European institutions.
In its monthly "School Break" section, which offers ideas for educational outdoor trips, Le Monde devotes this week's edition to the European Union, its history and its workings, according to an article published on September 12, 2026.
The first route takes place in Brussels, where families are invited to explore the Belgian capital to, in the article's words, "feel a little more European."
The second suggestion concerns Paris, where the Europa Expérience center allows, according to the newspaper, visitors to "step into the shoes of a European Member of Parliament" through an interactive journey dedicated to the European Parliament.
Finally, the third proposal takes visitors to the Yvelines, following in the footsteps of Jean Monnet, a founding figure in European construction, whose residence allows, according to Le Monde, one to "get close to" this statesman.
These three activities are part of a monthly series in the newspaper designed to complement schoolwork with cultural and historical family visits.
