School Language Trips to Normandy
French Language trips to the rural heart of Normandy
School Language Trips to Normandy are a haven of rugged coastlines, maritime towns and historic treasures, encapsulating everything that’s special about rural France. Known for its history, the region’s long sweep of beaches and pastoral villages make it all the more endearing.
Get to grips with the local lingo amongst the lively markets and enjoy a taste of life ‘à la française’. Pick up some new vocabulary at a traditional cheese dairy. Then soak up Normandy’s enchanting art scene in the fishing village of Honfleur, where ports don’t get any prettier than this beauty.
