National Education and Safety Certifications for Your School Trips

A lodging facility approved by the French Ministry of Education in Indre-et-Loire

Organizing a school trip requires thorough preparation and adherence to strict standards to ensure the children’s safety. To help you plan your educational program with complete peace of mind, the Domaine des Acacias is a lodging facility approved by the French Ministry of Education.

Our facilities—including our permanent buildings and outdoor spaces—have been thoroughly inspected and approved by inspectors from the French Ministry of Education. This official accreditation certifies that our estate in Touraine meets all applicable standards (fire safety, hygiene, accessibility, and facility size) for hosting minors. You can therefore confidently submit the application for your field trip or orientation program to your local school district office.

This expertise is further confirmed by our experience hosting SNU (Universal National Service) stays

Hosting large groups of young people requires careful planning. The Domaine des Acacias has extensive logistical and operational experience in accommodating minors. In particular, we’ve had the privilege of hosting and organizing team-building stays for the SNU (Universal National Service).

This significant experience demonstrates our ability to manage very large groups (up to more than 200 young people) within a highly regulated framework. From the secure management of visitor flows to large-scale group catering services, including the provision of facilities suited for gatherings, our team is fully versed in the requirements of hosting young people.

A fenced-in and secure estate, designed to provide peace of mind for teachers

In addition to administrative approvals, the very layout of our estate in the Loire Valley ensures safety for supervising staff. Located in La Ville-aux-Dames, the site is fully enclosed, providing a controlled environment where students can move about safely during their free time.

The layout of our accommodations greatly facilitates nighttime supervision by teachers and chaperones. By choosing the Domaine des Acacias for your educational trip, you’re opting for a professional, safe, and experienced facility, just a stone’s throw from the must-see châteaux of the Loire Valley.
