On Wednesday afternoon (half-day) and Saturday (full-day) excursions are offered as an inclusive part of the programme, to Bayonne, St Jean de Luz, St Jean Pied de Port, Espelette and La Rhune. Students are accompanied by school staff, to encourage a little more French conversation wherever possible…
One evening a week (as a rule Friday night) the school arranges an activity to bring the students together so they can relax and chat. Popular events include a bowling night, a trip to the cinema or a night spent on the beach. Normally timetabled 8.30 to 11.00 pm. Otherwise students are expected to stay at home with their hosts, so they can practise their French, unless they have parental permission to go out in the evening.
