French Experience
French culture for school groups
Our French Experience programme gives pupils the chance to discover French culture, history, and everyday life first-hand. Based at one of our beautiful 18th-century châteaux, schools use the centre as a base while enjoying a tailor-made itinerary of excursions — from visiting a local bakery or market to exploring Paris or the Somme. Every trip is bespoke, with the flexibility to add elements from our other programmes, such as French Immersion or the WWI Battlefields Experience, so each school can create a package that works perfectly for their group. With all travel and visits organised on your behalf, pupils enjoy a seamless, enriching experience that combines learning with lasting memories.
