French Department heads to France in May 2010

I will be taking a group of students to France in May of 2010 with EF Tours.  We will visit Paris and then travel by train to visit the South of France.  The trip lasts 9 days.  We are scheduled to depart on May 21st; however, our final plans may have us leaving up to 2 days earlier or 2 days later – we will know for sure 99 days before we depart.

To be eligible to travel, students must have completed (or be enrolled in) Grade 10 French.  Everyone is required by the government to take French up to Grade 9.  Those students who have chosen to take at least one extra year above and beyond that requirement can choose to come on the France trip.

To view more details about the exciting places we’ll visit, how much it will cost, etc., visit the EF Tours Website and enter tour number 739992 under “Check out my teacher’s tour”.
