From Bridgwater’s twin town in France, La Ciotat, our contact Nathalie MacAndrew brought a group of young French students on a project she described as EASY SPEAKING. The students stayed at Model Farm and linked up with English students at the Bridgwater College Academy with a programme organised through Bridgwater International.
