School Trip Accommodation Facilities - Normandy, France

School trips to the Chateau du Molay to be carbon neutral!

Travelbound's very own French chateau is set in 38 acres of private parkland near the beautiful village of Molay Littry in Normandy. As the chateau is 14kms from Bayeux and 15kms from the coast and D-Day landing beaches it makes an excellent base for school trips and educational visits.
