French Explorer

Explore Northern France with exciting excursions every day; we can arrange trips to major landmarks and ‘must-see’ places, or even cross-curricular visits to take in significant Art, Science & Technology or History locations.

The itinerary on an Explorer course depends entirely upon you - once you choose your destination we will send you an Explorer booklet featuring trips available in your chosen area.

Our Customer Support team will be happy to give advice on suitable trips for your group.

Depending on the excursions picked we can plan adventure activity sessions around them.

Only 1 hour from Calais this small and friendly centre at Hardelot on the Opal coast is an ideal base for KS3 groups. Originally a 19th century hotel, the location lends itself particularly well to historical interest excursions, being within easy reach of battlefields from Agincourt to WWII.
