School music tours to Normandy

An abundance of history, culture and beautiful scenery to explore
A wide range of amazing performing venues, in and outdoors

“Lucy was great! Good to talk to on the phone. Quick to respond to emails. Happy to rectify my mistakes!”

David, Director of Music, Hampshire

Beautiful churches and lively market squares

Normandy is known for many reasons; the modern warfare on the Landing Beaches as well as the historic battle of 1066 as depicted on the Bayeux tapestry, its lush countryside and cheese and cider production. There is a lot to explore between the picturesque Honfleur, the modern Caen or the island of Mont Saint Michel.
