Residential Centres
Our centres are based in Nord Pas de Calais, Le Mans and Normandy.
All the residential centres we use encompass warm, secure dormitory accommodation, healthy, nutritious food that appeals to young tastes, exciting activities, and facilities for classroom and games activities. Despite the common links in high quality and standards, each centre retains its own distinctive character, making it possible to have a unique experience in different regions of France.
Nord Pas de Calais
The proximity of the Nord Pas de Calais region to the UK means it is a popular area for British school visitors. We offer centres in 8 locations – Etaples, Merlimont, Stella Plage, Le Portal, Hardelot, Buire le Sec, Boulogne sur Mer and Berck sur Mer.
Le Mans
Located in the west of France, at the heart of a triangle formed by Normandy to the north west, Paris to the north east, and the Loire valley to the south. The city is best known for ‘Les 24 heures’, the 24 hour motor race that takes place each year. You can visit the motor racing circuit and museum nearby, and the surrounding area also has plenty to offer. We have one centre here in Mezeray.
Normandy
This part of France has close association with Britain. William the Conqueror set off from this area to conquer Britain in 1066. You can visit the charming little town of Bayeux and see the magnificent tapestry describing the Norman Conquest. Nearer to our own time, the allied Normandy landings started here in 1944.
Our residential centres are well situated for visits to the Normandy beaches and the Caen Memorial Museum of Peace and are located in Dieppe, Granville, St Aubin le Cauf, Thaon, Clinchamps sur Orne.
