In early June, 18 pupils from Years 9 and 10 set off on an exciting trip to the South of France – and, of course, to practise their French!
After a long journey, the children arrived at the campsite and enjoyed its facilities – swimming pool, slides, football pitches, and table tennis. They settled into their bungalows and spent the evening bonding over chats and card games.
The next day was full of sunshine and activity. They cycled through the scenic landscapes of Port-Camargue and Le Grau-du-Roi, spotting wild flamingos along the way. In the medieval town of Aigues-Mortes, they sampled local dishes like mussels and gardiane de taureau, explored the town, and visited the pink salt marshes by train. On the way back, they stopped for dinner and tried French tacos.
On the third day, the children cycled to the Espiguette Lighthouse and climbed its 111 steps. A guide explained the region’s geography and sand dunes, and the pupils impressed with their curiosity. Lunch by the beach followed – with crêpes for dessert, of course!
Their final evening was filled with games, songs, and laughter. On the last day, they packed up, played a final round of football and mini basketball, and did some last-minute shopping before heading home.
Everyone returned to Athens with sun-kissed cheeks, great memories, and plenty of stories to share.
