Magdalen Court School
Brittany Camping Week
Letters & Info @ bottom of page
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 peninsula.
Activities:
These will depend on the weather & other factors. The days start early & finish late, we try to cram as much into 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.
Campsite: Tennis, swimming, table tennis, Basket Ball, Orienteering
- Coastal 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)
- Aquarium at Roscoff (wet weather activity).
- Day trip to the Rose Granite Coast
- Gaulish Village, run by the French Scouts
