In a two-star hotel in the centre of Venice, in the Cannaregio district, about fifteen minutes on foot from St Mark’s Square and just over a kilometre from Santa Lucia station. The building is fifteenth-century; rooms are spacious, furnished in Venetian style, each with its own bathroom and toilet.
Full board across three settings: breakfast in the hotel dining room, a picnic at midday while the group is out in the city, and small restaurants in the evening.
A minimum of twelve and a maximum of twenty-four participants, with a qualified director and leaders at a ratio of one adult for every eight young people.
On foot and by public transport - bus and vaporetto, which is the waterbus Venice uses instead of a metro. Local and private transport used meets the safety standards of the country.
Scheduled return flights run from Paris to Venice. Joining from another French city is possible: there is a fixed supplement for around two dozen departure cities, listed under extras. Departure from Paris carries no supplement.
