We have created a range of videos about Burgundy, Avallon and Maison Claire Fontaine. Our playlists are organised into Key Stages to help you target the appropriate level for your group. These may be useful in preparation for your trip or equally to review your stay with us when you return home. In the description of each video on YouTube, there are links to supporting materials and activities. Some of these are downloads and some of these are links to interactive games. We hope you find them useful and welcome suggestions for further topics.
In this genially presentation we have collected together all our videos about Le Patrimoine de la région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. This includes visits to Dijon, Vézelay and the Château de Bussy-Rabutin as well as the bakery in Avallon and an introduction to 'la gastronomie' of the region. We have included supporting teaching resources for you to download as well as some online activities. This is aimed at Key Stage 5 but elements are equally suitable for Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 3 students.
