Testimonials from Pupils
"Dear le chateau
Thank you for our accommodation and for making our stay worthwhile and for the lovely time we had. Thank you for the activities we did. The food was delicious the rooms were lovely to sleep in, and we loved the disco. It was a lot of fun all the time. The food as we mentioned before was lovely and the frog’s legs tasted liked chicken but the snails tasted like slime. The activities were all fun but our favourite was the chateau Olympics and tiger was funny our favourite game was the nappy one it was so funny. We are really missing being in France and staying at the chateau we were ready to move in well one of us was anyway. We were glad to get home though, it was a long drive home but it was worth it for such a great time. We would happily come back to France and the chateau once again but unfortunately we are year six so we can’t come back, but we know other years will be coming back and we hope that the younger pupils coming to you in the future will have as much fun as we did. We don’t think they will have much competition because when we were there we think it got better every night and I think that will happen with them."

"Dear Le Chateau du Broutel,
I would like to say a very big thank you for letting me visit the chateau I must say it was very good on Monday when we got at the chateau we were very tired form all that traveling we did.
But it was worth traveling because the scavenger hunt was very good when we did that and the food on that night was delicious!
Then on Tuesday we went to the chocolate factory and the goat farm it was fantastic both of them and I loved all the animals.
On Wednesday we went to Paris and the Stade De France it was fabulous I loved my visit to Paris its an amazing city.
Thursday we went to Abbeville Market it was really good also we had a very good disco I loved all the dancing an the music it was fun.
On Friday I have got to say I really didn’t want to leave and we had all that traveling to get home!!
and again a BIG thank you."
Love, Ellie-Rose, Ewloe Green
