Perigueux students visit Eymet

Perigueux students visit Eymet

Around 40 students from Saint Joseph’s Lycée in Perigueux visited Eymet on a school trip in March, among their aims to learn about the historic bastide town and to practice their English language skills.

After exploring and having lunch in the centre, their coach brought them to Col de Pouthet (just outside Eymet) where ACFAA Atelier Group Leader Tim Richardson hosts various outdoor and forest pursuits.

Claire Riley and Maxine Walter, representing ACFAA’s main committee, were also present to welcome the students and their teachers.

Splitting into four groups, the visitors enjoyed a calming walk through the forest, learning about the inhabiting salamanders, and other elements of forest biodiversity.

They also enjoyed some fun, quiz-style games designed to get them speaking English in their groups.

Claire Riley said: “It was a pleasure to meet the students and to be able to get involved in their learning about our local community. I’d like to thank Tim and his wife for helping to host the event.”
