STS has a comprehensive knowledge of the excursions available in Normandy. Our tour is packed with exciting educational excursions covering a vast range of National Curriculum subjects. We are happy to tailor your tour to suit your learning objectives. The Château du Baffy is within easy reach of many interesting sites including the WWII Landing Beaches and the famous tapestry at Bayeux. The Château can also be the base for our Cuisine course or Allons-Y Study Break.
STS groups will enjoy the best of both worlds combining a stay in the beautiful Normandy countryside with superb beaches and interesting excursions close to hand.
The Château du Baffy lies on the edge of the small village of Colombiers-sur-Seulles, situated between Caen and Bayeux, just 6km or so from the seaside resort of Courseulles-sur-Mer (Juno beach in the Normandy landings of 1944).
We are able to offer the Château throughout the year, including July and August. Travel during Feb/Mar, Sep and parts of Oct to achieve major savings with term time departures.
