Explorer Excursions
Education trips in Normandy brings Learning to Life
Consolidate your students' learning, by directly relating their experiences to the real world. Seeing something learnt about in the classroom being presented right before their eyes can offer students a far deeper understanding and leave a lasting impression on them.
Wonder at the geographical spectacle of Mont St Michel's tidal island, roam around William the Conquerors Castle in Falaise. Watch the battle of Hastings unfold by visiing the Bayeux Tapestry or feel the recent history of the WWII battles come to life by steping onto the beach at Arromanches.
