School Language Trips to The Opal Coast
The perfect stepping stone for first-time tourers
A school French trip to the Opal Coast is a beautiful introduction to the enchantments of France. Its youthful, easy-going vibes and close proximity to the UK make it ideal for younger groups, offering plenty of lesser-known opportunities for students to speak the local language.
Named so for its ever-changing landscape of greys and blues, the Opal Coast is a beach-side haven with that authentic French feel. Pretty promenades and golden sands make the perfect backdrop when conversing with the locals. And the sugary delights of local chocolateries and confiseries only sweeten the deal.
