Welcoming our Brand-New Mercedes-Benz Coach to the Fleet!
We are thrilled to announce the latest addition to our Beau Soleil fleet: a brand-new Mercedes-Benz coach! Our Junior students had the privilege of being the first to enjoy a trip on the new bus, marking the start of many exciting journeys ahead.
This coach joins our existing fleet of seven Mercedes-Benz Vito vans, offering us even more flexibility and comfort as we transport students on various trips. With spacious seating, modern amenities, and a sleek design, our vehicles are ready to carry the Beau Soleil community to new destinations.
From our home mountain roads, our drivers are eager to take the wheel and explore. Just imagine the breathtaking landscapes passing by these windows, with each trip creating memories that will last for years to come.
Here’s to many more miles on the road, and even more stories to share along the way!
P.S. While you won't find Mr White behind the wheel, that didn’t stop him from sneaking into the driver’s seat for a quick photo op—just to make sure everything's in top gear!
