Christmas Markets are a great opportunity for students to explore and learn in surroundings that interest and engage them whilst providing fun and learning. Not least, an educational visit to any of the Markets means students can enjoy some early Christmas shopping too!
This is the main site for the Christmas Market where you’ll find over 80 chalets, Father Christmas and the Funfair.
The giant 50ft ferris wheel is here along with more stalls and all year round shops.
We highly recommend taking a break from the hustle and bustle for lunch at a central Lille crêperie. The group menu usually offers a sweet and a savoury crêpe each and we can pre-book this so that you can all stay together.
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.
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.
A well known local chocolate producer. Here you can see a demonstration of melting and moulding the chocolate with chance to sample the chocolates at the end. Worksheets available for French Language students.
If you haven’t done quite enough shopping there’s always Cite Europe, where you can make a last minute stop!
All the questions that I had asked were answered in a short space of time waiting no longer than a day, more often it was only a few hours waiting time. It did not matter how complicated or simple the question was it was always given a positive response.
