Halsbury Travel
Rouen was an excellent destination as the journey was not too far from our school in Loughborough and there was plenty for the students to see and do over the week. Attending language lessons at French in Normandy and staying with host families meant that students were able to fully immerse themselves in French language and culture. I would highly recommend a language study tour! — De Lisle College
