Eight immersive language sessions available to book for just £55 per child. Kids will love going back to school this summer when they join in the fun new language sessions being launched by Family Adventure Holidays (www.familyadventureholidays.com; 01273 803030) on its popular Normandy Château summer activity break. The leading provider of family activity holidays in France has also officially launched a new trip for Easter weekend 2019.

Normandy Château Adventure – one of Family Adventure Holidays' most popular trips – draws on the Château's 20 years of providing residential language-immersion trips to UK schools, combining sessions with a wider activity programme, which takes place in a 100-acre, wildlife-rich estate near Avranches.

Aimed at families with eight- to 16-year-olds who would like children to improve their French in an engaging way, the eight 45-minute language sessions – which cost just £55 per child in total – are led by native speakers who focus on learning while having fun. And there's the opportunity to consolidate learning on a day trip with the rest of the guests.

Other activities during the week include: canoeing, climbing, games and creative missions for youngsters; aeroball, bike skills and archery for older children; and wine-tasting, yoga, Zumba and clay pigeon-shooting for adults. There's room for family time, too, on an outstanding guided walk with quicksand experience across the Bay of Mont St Michel, plus an assault course and lots of evening entertainment.

Normandy Château Adventure is available 27 July and 3, 10, 17 and 24 August 2019. From £490 per adult and £435 per child (six to 15 years), £170 (two to five years), under-twos free. Book before 28 February for the weeks beginning 17 and 24 August 2019 to pay just £325 per adult and £275/£170 per child. The seven-night holiday includes accommodation in a family room, meals (with wine/cider for adults) and all activities. French sessions, including workbook, cost £55 per child. There are various accommodation upgrades available. This is a self-drive trip and international travel is not included.

The three-night Opal Coast Easter Adventure is a quick hop over the Channel, based at the three-star Hotel Moulin aux Draps, a convenient 45 minutes' drive from Calais, set in 22 acres of countryside and close to superb sandy beaches.

The fun activity programme includes a thrilling sand-yachting session on the beach at Boulogne-sur-Mer, where participants aged eight and above can learn to sail along the sands. Meanwhile, under-eights visit Nausicaa – the French National Sea Experience Centre – which has a living reef, sea-lion pool, and tropical shark lagoon.

Families will also pit their wits against each other when they design and race remote-control cars. Catapult-making, Easter-themed activities, and an escape room are other highlights of the weekend's agenda. Plus, on one night, grown-ups will enjoy a delicious four-course meal in the hotel's acclaimed restaurant, while children are kept amused.

The Opal Coast Easter Adventure is available 19-22 April 2019. From £299 per adult and £199 per child for three nights, including accommodation, meals and all activities. There are various accommodation options available – from interconnecting rooms, to doubles, twins, singles and family rooms. Travel, apart from excursion transfers, is not included.
