TRAVELLING WITH
LITTLE ONES
Travelling with young
children in France has
cer tain challenges, as
there are often limited
facilities for breast-

DISCOVER France Your Way behaved, and are often
changing. French chil-
dren are bafflingly well
kept to a tighter sched-
ule of naps and snacks
than yours may be used
to. Luckily there are lots
of parks where kids can
let off steam, and you’ll
find plenty of family-
friendly restaurants.
High chairs are not
widely available, so
you may wish to bring

FRANCE FOR
FAMILIES

Home to fairy-tale castles, fun parks and circuses, France is a great family
destination. Even in big cities, there’s always a nearby green space to run
around in, and most attractions are kid-friendly. Whether you're canyoning
in the Alps or relaxing on the Riviera, there's plenty of family fun to be had.

The Great Outdoors
France’s landscapes beg to be
explored. Coastal rock pools
and glaciers like Mer de Glace
will fascinate smaller
children. Bigger kids can
enjoy snorkelling in the
picturesque bays of the
Calanques or try their hand
(and legs) at surfing in Biarritz
(p458), where Jo Moraiz Surf
School (www.jomoraiz.com)
offers lessons for kids. On
dryer land, the Voies Vertes
network of converted train
lines in Brittany are ideal
for young cyclists.
