Cross Curricular Programmes
Why not join forces with another department from your school to maximise the benefit you and your students will gain from a Cross Curricular programme? No need for two field trips, which makes it much more economical as there will be a larger number of students travelling. Besides our selection of sample programmes, Ardmore Educational Travel can create bespoke programmes to suit your requirements and give you a personalised quotation based on your needs.

History and Innovation in Nantes
Nantes is the sixth largest city of France and is regularly voted the best city in France in which to live for its unique quality of life. A title that is well deserved! The old capital of Brittany, also famous as the birthplace of Jules Verne offers an important historical and architectural heritage, beautiful paved streets, great museums, like the Château des ducs de Bretagne, a thriving art scene as well as plenty of parks and paths to stroll along the River Loire and its affluent l’Erdre. The large student population keeps it dynamic and the proximity of the southern cost of Brittany makes it a great place to explore.
