With three popular Christmas markets nearby, one festively-decorated 19th century manor house accommodation, a Christmas quiz and a five course traditional Christmas dinner to be enjoyed with friends, we know-ho-ho your students will just love this magical Christmas school trip experience.

Your group can enjoy the ultimate Christmas market experience staying at NST’s own Château d’Ebblinghem whilst visiting Lille, Bruges or Ypres markets.

 

Learn about the industry of chocolate making and combine the demonstrations of melting, moulding and coating with worksheets, a guided tour of the workshop (in English or French), and the chance to enjoy tasting samples!

There are a number of boulangeries in the region where your pupils will watch and listen to the baker describe, in French, the process of making traditional French bread and croissants, before getting the chance to produce and eat their own. 

Learn about the history of the sweet shop and see how the sweets and lollipops are made. Pupils will learn from the French commentary, demonstrations and be able to taste the delicious sweets produced. 

This port town provides several cultural experiences located close together. 

  • Take a guided tour of the town and practise your language skills with the local French guide. 
  • Explore the Roman old town, spending time in its shops and cafés and practising language skills. 
  • Pupils can also compare French life past and present. 
  • Local market days are Wednesday and Saturday. Pupils can interact with traders, build language confidence and pick up a bargain or two.
