French students experience the trip of a lifetime in Nice!

French students experience the trip of a lifetime in Nice!

A group of 24 A Level French students recently embarked on an unforgettable week in the stunning city of Nice, immersing themselves in French language, culture, and history. Flying into the beautiful Côte d’Azur, students were welcomed by the Mediterranean sunshine, setting the tone for an incredible adventure. With daily morning lessons at the prestigious International House language school and enriching afternoon excursions, the trip provided the perfect balance of academic development and cultural discovery.

The students explored the French Riviera, visited the Casino de Monte- Carlo, a sweets and chocolate factory and perfumery and watched an amazing light and music show at the beautiful Basilique Notre-Dame, as well as much, much more.

From start to finish, this trip was an unparalleled opportunity for our students to enhance their language skills, immerse themselves in French culture, and make lifelong memories and friendships.

If you’re a prospective A Level French student at St John Rigby College, the next trip could be yours!
