Nous sommes arrivés!

We have all arrived safely in France and the Study Visit is going well on all three coaches.

Here are a few of our impressions so far:

• The spirit of commemoration is everywhere - tourists, veterans, flags, military vehicles, wreaths, beautiful, lavish arrangements - making this very special. Veterans joined us in the presentation at Pegasus Bridge
• Well situated accommodation - right by the beach
• We were so impressed with the amount of French the pupils used after community repetition of phrases in the coach
• A highlight for some was the chance to meet with Monsieur le Maire of Merville - many more detials - keep an eye out for the articvle in Accent and the National press
• Our evening dinner bread was prepared by coach C at the 'Co-pain' organic bakery

The weather was perfect for unwinding on the beach this eveing .. football, rugby, boules, Harry Potter games .. a lot of laughter everywhere.

The programme is packed, but we will try to blog to you each evening, connection permitting!
Bonne nuit!
