Come join us in Normandy, France, for a fun-filled and community-centered worldschooling gathering April 30 - May 6, 2023. This gathering coincides with the May 5th worldschool prom (separate entrance fee) for our worldschooled teenagers. All families who wish to explore Normandy are welcome at this pop-up, it's not necessary to have a teen. However, we do expect that teens will want to to interact with each other during the pop-up before they attend the fancy dance together. Our pop-ups provide a super casual, budget-friendly opportunity to gather, connect with other worldschoolers, learn about the local area, instill new friendships, share insights, and immerse in a friendly, accepting mobile community. Additionally our itineraries highlight local nature, arts, history, food, and culture... but you'll also have plenty of time to relax, get to know each other, and even stray from the itinerary to add activities that cater to the group's interests. Pop in for a few days or the full week. Join as many activities as you'd like. It's up to you! We would love to have you come and simply hang out with like-minded families while we dive in and explore the local offerings. Our itinerary will include activities such as the following: *Local château history (the 17th century manor house was home to one of Louis XIV's warriors, the chapel was designed by Mansart) *D-Day history and beaches *Bird watching in the local marshes *Ruins of former abbeys *Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Coutances *Multiple WWII museums *Hikes by the ocean *Archeological site Vieux-la-Romaine, an ancient Roman settlement from 100-220AD *Musée d’art et d’histoire Option to add on a visit to Mont Saint-Michel, Château de Pirou, Abbaye de Cerisy-la-Forêt, a multitude of WWII historic areas and museums, the historic 70m-long Bayeaux Tapestry, cathedrals & abbeys, Château de Caen, Ornavik for Viking and early English history, and maybe the Medieval Festival at Château de Pirou (waiting for the release dates)!
