'For a first trip abroad, this proved to be extremely successful. We loved everything we did and saw. Back in England the children
could not stop talking about the great time they had. The headteacher commented that she had not heard one negative comment! An

amazing experience for us all thanks to a really well organised trip. MERCI! My only regret is that we only stayed 2 days! 'Oxford House Sch, Colchester (new school for 2011) 

Bringing the curriculum to Life!

Exciting and educational. What better way to put learning into practice than an educational trip specifically designed by La Jolie Ronde.

Since 1995, La Jolie Ronde, working in partnership with bonded French educational tour operator, Langues et Voyages - ELS, has been organising tailor-made tours to France for primary schools. As a result, thousands of children have experienced the everyday realities of a foreign language, as well as sampling unique opportunities for personal and social development Taking an educational tour with La Jolie Ronde is the perfect way to provide pupil with new and exciting learning experiences.

  • A specially trained bi-lingual leader throughout your stay
  • Secure accommodation approved by the French regulatory authorities
  • Fully equipped coaches with seat belts
  • A wide variety of fun, educational and leisure activities to choose from
  • Pre-prepared educational worksheets, based around your visit
  • Opportunities to correspond, meet and converse with French Children
  • Off Peak trips to France - We also offer short, discounted trips during the off peak season, November to February. These tours are usually 1 or 2 nights stays in Northern France.
  • Preview visits are ideal for not only seeing the accommodation centers and some of the activities firsthand, but great for helping to complete risk assessment forms

Reviews from Preview Visit 2012 - "The familiarisation trip is an excellent opportunity to see alternative centres, experiencing them without the distraction and responsibility of your own school group in tow! It facilitates your risk assessment and enables you to give confident, credible accounts of the provision provided by your chosen centre to your colleagues, pupils and their parents".

"The incredibly well-organised visit allows staff to experience first-hand, the activities which would suit individually. The opportunity to complete a risk assessment yourself is a beneficial part of any schooltrip, and ensures staff and parents are fully confident about the entire experience". 

"Without being part of the familiarisation visit this year, our school would not have chosen to alter our previous programme, and add the excellent visit to Mareis. I would highly recommend these visits to every school. It is the ideal chance to ensure the trip will be perfect for your pupils. The amazing food is just an added bonus!!!
