Being such an easy distance from the UK, a day trip to the Opal Coast is a great way to dip into some well-loved French traditions. There are a number of different visits you can choose from, depending on the focus of your trip. Maybe the experience of authentic French culture calls for a trip to a traditional Boulangerie and Snail Farm! Or if the focus is history, there are a number of war memorials and museums to educate students about the experiences of soldiers.
From £85pp.
