The beaut iful Normandy region is our most popular t ravel dest inat ion with schools

choosing to return year after year. This is why we chose this region to acquire a very

special base for our groups, the magnificent 18th century Château du Molay.

The area provides an extensive range of act ivit ies and excursions to enhance your

students' learning. Students can dive into the history of World War II with a series of

significant Batt lefield visits including Arromanches 360 degree cinema and the D-Day

Landing Museum, the Caen Memorial, the landing beaches and war cemeteries. For those

studying Medieval History there is the Bayeux Tapestry, William the Conqueror's birth place

at Falaise Cast le and the Ducal Cast le and Abbeys in Caen. You can also visit the

picturesque island of Mont St Michel, one of France's most visited landmarks and a

UNESCO World Heritage site. Language students can develop their verbal skills with

interact ive act ivit ies in the market towns of Bayeaux and Honfleur and through visits to

farms and manufacturers developing local produce. With a variety of cross curricular

act ivit ies available, your tour it inerary will soon shape itself around your learning goals and

the many experiences open to your students.

One of the advantages of working for a t ravel company is that you get to see the world.

I’ve been in this industry for about 20 years, and have been to places I wouldn’t otherwise

have visited. I was sent to Russia with a group of teachers on an inspect ion visit . We saw

Lenin’s tomb and the Kremlin, marvelled at Catherine’s Palace (did you know it was

designed by a Scotsman?), went to the Bolshoi ballet then drank vodka and ate caviar – a

truly Russian experience. I’m now widely t ravelled with the experience to help schools

choose the best resort for their needs.

Favourite city: An easy choice as Rome is the city of romance. The Vat ican, Roman Forum

and Colosseum are all places of history and mystery. When in Rome, make sure you visit

the T revi Fountain. Don't forget to throw a euro in and make a wish!

About me: I love to ski, read and salsa-dance. I once worked out in a gym with Prince

William.
