French Language Detectives

Combining an activity based language course for KS3 & KS4 students with excursions and adventure activities, in a location that gives a true French experience. Includes a PGL course representative to assist with course delivery.

The course is activity-based, involving the participants in group and individual language work, set in a variety of practical situations.

The whole on-site experience at Château du Tertre has been specifically adapted to suit the needs of groups looking to experience the real France. Signage, menus and day-to-day exchanges between PGL staff and your pupils all take place in French.

As well as study modules, trips and visits, you can choose up to one half-day of adventure activities free of charge for every full day of your stay.

Less than an hour from Calais this small and friendly is 10 minutes walk from the beach and town centre at Hardelot. Originally a 19th century hotel, the location lends itself particularly well to historical interest excursions, being within easy reach of battlefields from Agincourt to WWII.
