Read about the experiences of our Year 13 French students.
I thoroughly enjoyed my week spent working in Pylones with Blue Stamp Travel. Speaking in
French to the lovely staff and customers helped to improve my language a lot whilst I also
had the joy to explore Lille with my friends and try some tasty food. Isabella C
I had a great time during my visit to Lille for experience with Blue Stamp Travel. While I was
there I worked in a shop and cafe which gave me plenty of opportunities to improve my
speaking and listening skills. I enjoyed being able to communicate with native speakers as
well as experiencing French culture. It was amazing to be able to spend time exploring Lille
and trying new foods with my friends. Emily H
I had a very positive experience doing my work experience with Blue Stamp Travel at
Maxwell and Grace; it doesn’t get much better than spending your week abroad looking
after, washing and grooming dogs! Hearing French consistently throughout the workday
really helped to improve my ability to take in the French I hear when spoken to me and also
pick up everyday vocabulary we hadn't learned in lessons. Overall, I would definitely
recommend this experience to others. Lucy C
