School French Culture Trip to Normandy
Your students will love exploring the area and putting their French skills to the test on a school trip to Normandy!
Within easy reach of the UK, it's no surprise Normandy is such a popular destination for school French groups.
On a school French trip to Normandy, your students can visit a local market to learn about some of the region's incredible produce or visit the Arromanches Landings Museum to discover the area's rich history, all whilst practising their French.
And why not team up with the history department to make your trip to Normandy cross-curricular? There are some incredible opportunities here to learn more about WWII.
