Just a short hop across the Channel, the Opal Coast offers a fantastic range of cultural activities ideal for a school group!
This area is a wonderful introduction to France – it’s much less busy than big cities like Paris but offers just as many opportunities to immerse yourselves in the culture. You can visit Calais, Boulogne or Le Touquet on your French school trip to the Opal Coast – wherever you choose, you’ll be spoilt for choice in terms of the activities designed to get your students talking.
Popular options include chocolateries, bakeries and snail farms, where students can practise using their French to find out from the local producers how they make their products and their importance in French culture.
Certainly, for Key Stage 3 and GCSE students, this trip offers the perfect opportunity to develop their vocabulary around food, drink and eating out. It’s also a fantastic destination in which to learn more about customs and cultural traditions in France.
And A-level students can use this as an opportunity to learn more about various aspects of French-speaking society, and to work on their individual research projects.
And the variety of foodie activities available in this area means that the Opal Coast is also the perfect choice for a cross-curricular school trip in conjunction with your food technology department.
