Normandy trips with Equity School Trips

Equity – The School Travel People

trip icon Just across the channel, Normandy is a great location for History, MFL, and Food Tech studies. Inextricably linked to the history of England, from the Normans who invaded and became rulers for centuries, right up to the 20th Century and the huge impact of the Battle of the Somme, and the D-Day Landings. With excellent exhibitions and museums, students will gain valuable lessons about military conflicts from experiencing the Normandy landscape first-hand.

Normandy also boasts a unique cultural identity, where traditional, artisan makers and businesses are preserved and praised. Practice your French language skills in one of the many street markets of Normandy's historical towns, or learn some culinary skills in a food tech workshop at a local boulangerie or farm.

Here are some fantastic excursions for your school covering History, Food Tech, and Language trips:

Arromanches 360° cinema

located on the clifftops above the town and projected onto 9 screens in a circular cinema, students can see incredible archive footage which tells the story of the 100 days of the Battle of Normandy.

Bayeux Tapestry Museum

The famous tapestry, almost 70m long, shows the events behind the Norman invasion of England in 1066. This iconic artefact gives a fascinating insight into medieval propaganda and gives excellent context for those studying Norman England.

D-Day Landings Museum, Arromanches

Students can learn all about the astonishing feat of engineering that went into the construction of the Mulberry Harbour, an artificial harbour which allowed the Allies to unload military personnel and supplies for the invasion of Normandy.

Juno Beach Centre

This museum tells the story of the 14,000 Canadian troops who landed here in June 1944. The centre also showcases the impact World War 2 had on Canadian society, at home as well as on the various fronts.

Bayeux: Battle of Normandy Memorial Museum

This excellent museum explains in great detail the day by day account of the military operations by the Allies in Normandy in the summer of 1944 with archive footage and equipment.

Pegasus Bridge Museum

Learn about Operation Deadstick, a mission to secure strategic bridges crucial to the success of the D-Day landings. Discover the amazing story of the British Airborne forces who landed using gliders and held the bridge against enormous odds.

Goats Cheese Farm

Providing a perfect backdrop to understanding the end-to-end process of food production, this working farm provides a unique insight in traditional French cuisine, along with some delicious tasters.

Boulangerie Workshop

Enjoy a culinary delight and learn new baking skills with a workshop at a local boulangerie. From baking fresh bread, to creating the most delicious croissant, your students will love this cultural activity.

Bayeux Market

Explore the historical town of Bayeux and practice your French in it's weekly market. You can even pick up some local delicacies, or some souvenirs to take home with you.
