Just a stone’s throw across The Channel from Dover, the Opal Coast is an ideal school trip destination, combining excellent opportunities to learn about WWII, as well as the chance to immerse your students in another culture and language. Visit the site of the Battle of the Somme on your school trip to the Opal Coast, giving your students the chance to come to terms with what they read in their history textbooks, standing on the soil where all of those men and women lost their lives fighting for their country. Your group can reflect on the past and relate it to the present, visiting the cemeteries filled with the graves of British servicemen and women. Our educational tours to the Opal Coast also offer excellent opportunities for learning French. Take your class on a tour of the picturesque market towns and villages, where they can practice their linguistic skills on the friendly and willing locals.
