France

Great short-haul destination
Reasonably priced
Competitive fixtures for many sports

OVERVIEW

Our closest neighbour and a country filled with contrast, a sports tour to France can offer the perfect short-haul tour at a reasonable cost.

Take the school minibus or coach across on the ferry and base yourselves near to the cities of Lille or Arras or venture further afield, travel by Eurostar and enjoy a sports tour in Paris.

All three destinations offer training bases with lots of facilities on site as well as competitive fixtures for rugby, hockey, football, tennis & swimming. Tours can include tickets to see professional games, tours around the famous stadia & of course a day at Disneyland Paris!

Further south we work with a superb rugby/netball training centre in the Correze and also can put on a hotel based tour in the south-west of France – in the heart of rugby country – with you staying in Toulouse, Perpignan or Bordeaux. This can be combined with a stay in northern Spain and make for a strong and competitive tour in a great climate.

Indeed the concept of touring in France should not be overlooked. The variety in landscape and culture makes each day different and as you travel through the regions – from the Loire to the Alps, Alsace to the Cote d’Azur, sightseeing & landscape differ dramatically. With the language element to consider too – you can provide a very rounded touring experience with a dash of french, geography and history all adding to the Gaelic flair of your tour.
