EACH year a party of Year 7 pupils from Albany crosses the Channel to
France to experience the culture, life and history of Normandy.
The visit includes excursions to Arromanches (scene of the D-Day landings), Bayeaux (site of the famous tapestry) and Honfleur (a quaint fishing town).
Pupils will have the opportunity to practise their French and live the
French way of life, but mostly they just have a really good time!
