It was a very successful visit , all staff and student feedback was positive.
One temporary member of staff was not keen on taking the pupils to the Musee D'Orsay but the visit was successful. Many of our students are not in the habit of visiting art galleries and national collections and it was a first time for some of them. (October 2024 - Secondary School)

The PGL Chateau de la Grande Romaine was well equipped with tennis courts and large open spaces for students to play sports. There was also a swimming pool which was closed during our visit. The rooms were comfortable and clean, though there was some staining on some bedroom walls.
The canteen offered cereals, croissants, pain au chocolat, bread, yoghurt and fruit for breakfast. Packed lunches were made by students. They each took one baguette to prepare their own sandwich. Evening meals were very good with about two to three different choices. I would say that the options for anyone gluent free were poor. (June 2024 - Secondary School)

The castle is great but needs a bit of repairs. We picked it as it has a football pitch and basketball pitch for kids to play. The tennis courts were not looking great. Our rooms were very modern and clean. (February 2023 - Secondary School)

Excellent facilities, great staff, good location. (March 2019 - Secondary School)
The company and the Site staff were very well organised. Every element of the trip ran smoothly. The students were well occupied and engaged in the activities delivered on the trip, and had a good balance of "down time" in a safe and friendly environment with basket ball and tennis courts available to amuse the more active students. The staff were polite and courteous, and kept the school staff well-informed of activities and events. (March 2019 - Secondary School)
