For our last day, the children were extremely efficient and rapidly stripped their beds and packed their suitcases in order to have more time to play in the forest after breakfast. The exploration of the woods was the highlight of the day for many children! We had a lovely breakfast once again. This time, the special was pain au chocolat! We then set off to visit ‘Le chateau d’Hardelot’) the Hardelot castle and its grounds which were beautiful). The children were very interested to learn more about the complex relationships between France and England over the years, which were represented throughout the castle. Everyone also hugely enjoyed walking around the lake, spotting all kinds of fauna: we saw and heard A LOT of frogs! All of this under the beautiful sun. We got back on the coach heading towards Boulogne-sur-Mer for our picnic and treasure hunt in the fortified city. We ended the afternoon brilliantly with ice creams! Our super driver, Dave, managed to get us on an earlier shuttle and we even made back to school early!
