Regarde! visits at the courtauld gallery


Regarde! visits are currently available for all MFL students. They can be delivered in parts or entirely in French. They can be:

  • one or two hour visits of The Courtauld Gallery collection of French art including language activities

  • Language and art workshops, including tours, extended language and art history-related activities. These can be delivered directly in schools (in the London and Greater London area).


We also offer long-term Regarde! projects which include visits to the gallery and sessions in schools. These can be tailored to the MFL units studied in the classroom.
