Evening all. Need some suggestions to take my 4 and 6 year old for a week away relatively last minute (next weekend). Will just be me and the kids, so could do with something good for youngsters. I've promised a foreign break so initially looking at Alps or the Riviera (needs a beach /lake of some form. Willbe driving. Kiddies are 4 and 6 if it helps.
Ta all..
Vendee. Long long drives otherwise with nippers
cheers monk, the kids have done a few long (south italy) journeys so not too much of an issue (within reason). I had thought about brittany, but keen on either an Italy (sun) fix or Alps fix.
Check Ile de Ré, not far, it was recommended to me by a french friend.
Garda? Loads of great stuff for kids, gardaland, montebaldo cable car, cracking water sports. Food was a lot cheaper than I expected too.
What about one of those big French campsite complexes [url= http://www.vacansoleil.co.uk/camping/info/france-brittany/dol-de-bretagne/campsite-domaine-des-ormes/VAC/5/2731000/#accommodaties ]like this one?[/url]. Lots of them are on lakes with heaps of kid-friendly activities. Most have cabins for rent to you shouldnt need a tent if you can find one with vacancies.
Lake Garda/Como or Lugano.
La Rochelle/Carnac/Morbihan.
How about Lac Sainte Croix at the foot of the Verdun Gorge? Has beach, swimming, campsites, stunning countryside etc. Might be a little bit cheaper than some of the riviera resorts too.
