The objective of our French Experience course is to provide students with the opportunity of experiencing French culture from a beautiful 18th Century Château.
Despite our two countries only being separated by 26 miles of water we are different in many ways. Students will be able to distinguish from their visit to Le Château that it is not only the language that differentiates the two cultures: architecture; history; food; attitudes and also driving on the other side of the road are only some of the differences.
Our coach remains with your group for the duration of your stay to maximise your enjoyment whilst in France. We offer a wealth of interesting places to visit: Paris, a Chocolate Factory, a French Market, a variety of historical sites or even a theme park. The possibilities are endless and are detailed under places of interest.
Included in the package is a range of evening entertainment which can include:- Château olympics, barbecue and disco, quiz night, local visit to Rue, scavenger hunt, wide games, and team sports.
For schools who want to expand on their French Experience course, various modules can be added to the programme for a small supplement from our other products, i.e. outdoor pursuit sessions, French Language modules or a guided tour of the WWI Battlefields.
The essence of the course offered is to design the programme around the individual requirements of each school.
Party Leaders are encouraged to visit Le Château prior to the school visit to satisfy that all our systems such as Risk Assessment, Health & Safety, and Staff qualifications are all in order, but also to discuss a tailor-made programme with our Activities Manager.
