Where should I stay in France with the kids?

France is such as family friendly country, with lots of popular holiday resorts. Many head to the coast for beach holidays - Brittany in the north is great of quiet coves, great for young children. The west coast has wide open beaches, great for surfing, and the south coast has all the French chic of St Tropez etc. Great for all the family.

Where should families stay in the south of France?

There are plenty of accommodation options, from villas, to campsites to apartments in the South of France. The south of France is great for more guaranteed weather, whereas the north could be better for milder temperatures.

Which is the best family friendly resort in France?

By the coast or inland, there are plenty of family friendly resorts in France. Head to north France for milder temperatures or go south if you handle the longer journey and hot weather. Our favourite resort in France is in the Charente, in the west of France. Lovely beaches and gorgeous countryside.
