French Alps

Eiffel Tower, Paris, France

Arc de Triomphe, Paris, France


Day 1

Board your overnight flight to Europe.


Day 2

Your Joshua Expeditions Guide will meet you in the airport, then you will board a private coach and start your journey to the Christian Retreat Camp tucked away in the French Alps near Grenoble, France. This camp hosts children's retreats throughout the year and serves also as a Bible school for college students and adults. You’ll have an orientation time to prepare for your upcoming ministry projects and become familiar with the retreat center before heading off to bed.


Day 3

Your ministry project begins early today. You may be involved in minor construction and restoration or simply helping with a cleanup project. During this time of living at the camp, you will have opportunities to interact with foreign students from all over Europe, which will provide an excellent intercultural experience and great insight into how the European students live out their Christian faith!


Day 4

On your final day in the camp, you may be involved in a painting project or more construction. Use every task as a tool for sharing the love of Christ with the staff and students you work alongside. In the evening the group will meet together for a time of devotions and reflection.


Day 5

In the morning the group will depart for Paris for the final two nights in Europe! Upon arrival, you will visit the Sacré-Cœur, where you get a spectacular daytime view of Paris. You can also enjoy a light snack and chocolate crêpes at the café of your choice before taking a private coach by the famed Arch de Triomphe and the Avenue des Champs-Élysées , the place to shop and to be seen in Paris! In the evening you will head to the top of the Eiffel Tower for a magnificent view of the City of Lights! After dinner, the group will return to the hotel for devotions and discussions.


Day 6

This morning the group will head to the famous Louvre Museum, home to the Mona Lisa, Venus De Milo, Winged Victory and many other astounding works of art. You'll have photo opportunities in front of the world-renowned (and controversial) glass pyramids and explore the endless treasure inside the museum. Afterward, you will visit the famous Notre Dame Cathedral where you can opt to climb to the top of the bell tower and see if Quasimodo is hiding in the shadows! Later that evening the group will stop at a local, Christian church and have one more ministry experience of serving and evangelism. You will then return to the hotel for your final night of devotions and discussions.


Day 7

After six unforgettable days, return home from Paris!
