All Abroad! Fun French Town Quest

Step into a mini French adventure right here in Newhaven town!

​

This 90‑minute experience invites children to explore the town as detectives looking for clues and fun facts that connect Newhaven to France, both today and in times gone by. No passports required!

​

Led by Julia Vogado, local language tutor and founder of All Abroad! Bus, families will follow a gentle trail from town to beach, from port to fort. Children will hunt for clues, try a little French in a relaxed way, and enjoy playful, hands‑on moments along the route.

​

The adventure concludes inside the Newhaven Ferry port passenger building, where children experience an immersive 360° VR journey to Dieppe - a memorable finale that brings the whole story full circle!

​

It’s mostly outdoors (whatever the weather!), playful and designed to spark curiosity. Not a lesson, not a tour, just a mini escape that brings Newhaven’s French connections to life.
