Shocking fact: Children are being forced to
learn thanks to good health and general well being!
New findings show that the Chateau du Molay in
Normandy is actively encouraging school children to
use outdoor activities including: a professional
grade football/rugby pitch, a multi-purpose sports
court and an outdoor heated swimming pool!
School groups are also having to endure a
healthy 3-course menu in the on-site restaurant,
fresh air in the 38 acres of private parkland and
playing games outside long into the warm
summer evenings!
This controversial new programme is coupled
with worthwhile excursions that help children to
develop experientially! Normandy beaches, US
cemeteries, medieval towns and traditional French
markets give children no option other than to
learn more about the history, language and the planning many more for school groups during
culture of France. 2010, will your group be one of them?
