Picardy & the Somme Bay with your class
Guided seal-watching by kayak or on foot, sand-yachting on the enormous flat beaches, and a specialist ornithology walk through the Baie de Somme nature reserve combine to create an unforgettable outdoor science experience. The location also puts the group close to the Somme memorials, adding a powerful History dimension for older classes.
The programme works as a pure nature trip or as a combined science and history stay. On the Move manages the full itinerary, specialist guides and accommodation.
