25 March - 1 April 2010
This year's French exchange was another tremendous success. 27 boys spent the first week of the Easter holiday with French families in Aix en Provence in the south of France. They proved to be an exceptionally cheerful, courteous and focussed group of travellers, who attracted numerous complimentary comments both for their impeccable behaviour and the intelligent questions they asked the French guides.
Cultural visits included the Roman amphitheatre at Nîmes, the Pont du Gard, the Villa Ephrussy de Rothschild, the Stade Vélodrome (home of Marseille football club) and a confiserie in Aix.
Many thanks to Miss Wright and Mme Biddiscombe for their excellent organisation of all aspects of the trip – and to Mr Aitken and Mrs Cooper for accompanying the group.
