In December, 47 students who study French or German, had the opportunity to visit French, Belgian and German Christmas markets.

On the first day of the trip, students got to explore the magical Christmas market in Namur in Belgian where they bought crêpes, hot chocolate and lots of other delicious treats as well as fitting in some Christmas shopping.

On the second day of the trip, we spent time sightseeing in Aachen, which included visiting the cathedral and a visit to the Lindt outlet shop where students got to buy some delicious chocolate. The remainder of the day was spent enjoying the atmosphere of one of the best Christmas Markets in Europe, before visiting the very picturesque, traditional Christmas market in Monschau in the evening.

The trip ended with a visit to the Christmas market in Lille in France, followed by the obligatory stop at the hypermarket for last minute shopping before heading home.

It was a fantastic trip which the students and staff thoroughly enjoyed.
