SIXTEEN students travelled to France to take part in an exchange visit.

The students, from Prior Pursglove College, in Guisborough, east Cleveland, will be undertaking a project on the Common European Heritage as part of their stay with pupils from the Lycee Georges Duby, in Aix-en-Provence.

They will visit Avignon and Arles this week and other Roman remains and on their return they will submit a report to the British Council outlining their experience and explaining how their awareness of other European cultures has been raised.
