Recommended Cultural Visits

Other Cultural Visits

  • Boulogne
    This busy port town offers a wide range of visits which means many groups choose to spend a half day or a whole day here. At the heart of Boulogne is the Roman old town, ideal for sightseeing and shopping. Other popular visits include Becasuc sweet factory and Nausicaä Sea Centre.
  • Cite de Europe
    If you haven’t done quite enough shopping there’s always Cite Europe, where you can make a last minute stop!
  • WST Lille Christmas Quiz
    Take our free fun Christmas quiz along with you. This will give your students a focus whilst they are there, encourage them to look around the markets and the area and give them opportunities to try out some language skills. It's also a useful thing for them to finish off on the coach journey home.
