Welcome to Berridge

GAP YEAR AND SUMMER PROGRAMS IN NORMANDY, FRANCE

Live Creatively

Spend a semester living, travelling and creating in France.

​

Live alongside a community of curious peers on our 400-year-old farm in Normandy and learn from people who have made creativity a way of life.  

 

Make things, meet people and travel through France, finding inspiration in art, architecture, food, culture, history and nature. Follow what fascinates you, take risks and grow in confidence along the way.

​

Join Creative Semester and discover that creativity is bigger than art. It's a way of seeing, exploring and engaging with the world.

Learn more about us

Since 2008, Berridge has brought students together in Normandy to live, explore and create in community. We believe creativity is more than what you make. It is a way of engaging with the world, seeing things differently and imagining what might be possible. Our mission is to give students the time, space and freedom to discover what living creatively means to them.

La Vaquerie Farm is the home of our food-focused programs. From hands-on cooking to exploring the people, places and traditions behind French food, discover another way to experience life in Normandy.
