Tailor made residential trips for schools
Inspiration for your RARA school trip in France
We believe the key to ensuring that a school group enjoy every moment of their time away, is to achieve the correct balance of outdoor adventure with cultural and historical experiences to fulfill the expectations of students, parents and the school.
Every day's program of events is full and well organized with purposeful activities. Together, RocknRoll Adventures friendly booking team and your approachable activity host will take away the organizational work from you as party leader. You are free to make the most of your time outside the classroom walls, to build relationships with your students and encourage their enjoyment of a different kind of learning experience.
The different itineraries below are just three of the potential combinations of activities that you could choose. These are not fixed programs but are designed to highlight some of the activities we could offer your school, each with a slightly different focus. See the full range of activities available on RARA School Trips in France and contact RocknRoll Adventures today to design your own Tailored Itinerary.

This itinerary shows why Normandy is such a good destination for a school trip to France. It allows you to discard your history books and walk back in time to experience the world famous historical sites of the Bayeux tapestry and the D-Day landing beaches. It ejects you out of the classroom and into the local market, where the children will put their French language into practise to buy produce for a picnic and learn about the process of making goats cheese by visiting a local farm. Combine this with fun active experiences like land yachting and kayaking ensuring that the energy will flow throughout the week.
