"The Eagle's Nest" Video

One of the difficulties in booking any kind of group activity is that group members may have different concepts of what the trip will provide for them.

If travel to a different country is also required, perhaps one that hasn't been visited before, as well as a different language being used, then this can increase the sense of worry.

Discover realised some time ago that it would be very helpful if prospective clients could see for themselves the facilities on offer and the wonderful location that The Eagle's Nest was set in and so slides were taken and these used to be presented to clients.

Whilst this form of presentation helped it was decided that a more representative view of the types of Fieldwork would be beneficial and so a video has been made that looks at the centres setting and follows some of the groups who use it. Teachers and pupils contribute to describing their experiences of work on Mt.Lozere and there are also interviews with those responsible for monitoring the examination process who give an appraisal of the centres geographical position and the benefits of study in France.

We were also lucky enough to follow the youngsters of the Dragon School who use the centre for French Language teaching and this gives a real insight into the "fringe" benefits of our relationship with the people of the Cevennes.

Day to day life at the centre is shown together with pictures of the facilities and so this video provides a very good resume of what's achievable on a short trip and is also excellent viewing for parents who can then identify with the aims of the trip. It also provides a focus for fund raising events.
