Why do teachers rate our tours so highly?

French immersion

You enjoy one or two days at the Château de la Baudonnière, a unique French-speaking environment designed especially for UK schools.

Our French native staff team

Professional animateurs will be speaking in French with your group during the day, in the evenings and at mealtimes. Personal attention. You have a dedicated, French native tour manager who spends the whole time with you and your group.

Normandy specialists

We don’t do anything else. That’s why most UK schools who travel to Normandy come to us.

French is Fun!

The pupils/students enjoy activities such as canoeing, archery, fencing, bread making, assault course and climbing while they learn French at the same time. Educational structure. Each student is supplied with a comprehensive workbook to reinforce their experience.

Comprehensive resources

We have 25 French staff on the ground in Normandy, all ready to help you in any way they can.

Unbeatable value

We really believe that our simple all-inclusive rates represent excellent value. We provide a 1:8 pupil to teacher free place ratio on all coach programmes.

Results

We return your group to the UK with pupils/students who are both more able, and more motivated back in your classroom.

Don’t worry

Even with groups who are complete beginners in French – it works!

“The classroom situation is always artificial, to some degree. Here my pupils know it’s for real. If they know that when they want something, they have to ask for it in French, they will do it!” John Peterson, Party Leader
