A hassle-free informative plunge into the history and culture for France – a Spring Break trip designed specifically for YOU - university faculty, staff, and spouses. Spring Fling programs connect you to the rich history, culture, and stunning sites of France, along with the spiritual heritage bequeathed to us through the French Reformation. Besides our passion for history and culture, Chez Vous Normandy shares with you the spiritual needs and opportunities in France today, preparing you for however God might lead you (or your students!) in service to the French church. For more than 30 years Chez Vous Normandy has been offering study abroad programs and educational trips, such as “Spring Fling,” to Christian universities and schools, to home school groups, and to churches.
