France Explorer for KS3 & KS4 (S1-S5)

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.
