Year 11 French students visited the pretty city of Strasbourg, arriving at the unique airport of Bale which, although very small, straddles 3 countries. We visited various museums, a palace, the cathedral and a chocolate factory; learning the history of this interesting region during a walking tour and boat trip. For budding politicians, the highlight was the visit to the European Parliament. We tasted some regional specialities such as ‘Tarte Flambée,’ ‘Quiche Lorraine’ and ‘Bretzel.’ Thank you Mr Kemp for sharing his fount of historical facts during this trip.
