Ashville College tour, July 2023

A large group from Ashville College, Harrogate, have confirmed their tour with us for July 2023.  An exciting programme is planned, with accommodation in the heart of the ‘Suisse Normande’ (the area of Normandy with rugged hills, cliffs and valleys reminiscent of the Swiss Alps) at the CAPA Venture centre.

Their tour begins with a day delving into the history of medieval Normandy, with a morning at the Bayeux Tapestry Museum and the afternoon at William The Conqueror’s Castle, the Chateau de Falaise, featuring a musical performance for the castle’s visitors.

The next day is based around Lisieux, with the morning at Cerza Zoo and the afternoon at the impressive Basilica Saint-Therese, with a performance integrated into the afternoon Mass.

Adventure activities in the Suisse Normande with CAPA Venture fill the following morning, and in the afternoon the group will visit Mont Saint Michel and perform in the Abbey right at the top of the monument.

The final day starts at the D-Day Landing Beaches with a guided tour of the bunkers and museum, and a musical performance, at the Juno Beach Centre.  Heading across to Honfleur for the afternoon, the final concert of the tour will take place at the stunning Eglise Saint Catherine in the heart of this pretty port town.
