I went a couple of Eurocamp holidays before my husband and I had children. Both times we went to Southwest France, and both the campsites were a short walk to the beach. I really enjoyed the flexibility of being able to eat out or cook for yourself in France. French dining can be a bit …

Get it right and you’re looking at fun-filled family memories to last a lifetime. Get it wrong and …
Our DFDS ferry is booked and my Mini Travellers are excitedly ticking off their holiday countdown in preparation for their holidays. So if you are driving to France this Summer here is what you need to know! We are taking our car with us so we can really explore the area. I’ve been doing a …
Here in the UK a trip to France is often one of the first trips families make together. Logically this makes sense, it’s the closest country to us, lots of us did this as kids with our parents (and have fond memories), the food, wine and weather is usually very good and you can get …
