Normandy
Within easy reach of the UK, it’s no surprise that Normandy is still a firm favourite for school groups on a French language tour. School groups can visit traditional seaside towns, picture-perfect coastlines, historic D-Day Landing Beaches, enjoy delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere, all while practising their French.
Start your French school trip to Normandy with a visit to a traditional French market – a perfect place to practise your language skills and learn about some of the region’s incredible produce.
Visit the magnificently picturesque Mont St Michel and allow time for Normandy’s enchanting art scene in the fishing village of Honfleur.
A French language school trip to Normandy offers an array of learning opportunities for your school group.
