KS3 History Summer Residential Trip To France
Following the hugely successful trip to Poland with members of the older year groups, it was time to provide a history trip for the younger pupils and where better to go than Normandy and Paris? Having departed from school before the dawn chorus we were at our first destination of Honfleur in time to polish off the substantial lunches not already digested on the coach. Exploring this magical harbour town of brightly painted houses, chocolate shops and the largest wooden church in France (made only with axes) it is no wonder artists such as Claude Monet made it their home. From here to the chateau where we were staying was an hour’s drive and arriving at our base, where delicious food, first rate facilities (including a swimming pool) and friendly staff awaited, we quickly unpacked and the evening was our own.
