The school organises a trip to Carantec, Brittany each summer at the end of June. We stay at a wonderful 5* campsite on the coast at the Carantec pernisula.Magdalen Court School Brittany 1

Activities:

 

These will depend on the weather & other factors. The days start early & finish late, we try to cram as much in to our stay as possible, & it has the advantage that tiered children get up to less mischief!. We will be cooking a number of traditional Breton dishes; Moules Marinière, Gallettes, Crêpes, Langoustines, artichokes are a few of the dishes on offer.

  • Costal walks, the coast line is astounding.
  • Walk to one of the islands close by, across a cause-way. It has a traditional old Breton fishing village & chapel.
  • Local towns: Carantec, Morlaix, Roscoff (often overlooked but very beautiful)
