Our Family French Adventure
We started a 10-day French driving holiday but with two children in tow we wanted to make sure they didn't hate the car by the end of the 10 days! We sweetened the journey for the kids by heading to Disneyland Paris first. My tip is always start with what the kids want first. This will make your life so much easier. We headed to Disney and stayed at the Davy Crocket Ranch. It was perfect for us. We had a separate room for the girls, plus a kitchen and outside area. Our lodge was secluded but only a 5-minute walk into the ranch village for drinks and meals. The drive took 10 minutes to the parks, and we had a fantastic 3 days enjoying the rides, eating lots of ice cream and meeting our no 1 reason for going " The Avengers "
Our second part took us 4 hours south to where my dad lives, and we have a fabulous time enjoying much needed family time.
Our 3rd part took us to a French campsite for 3 nights, this was the perfect place to relax after what was a busy time in Disney and lots of walking whilst at my dad’s. We enjoyed the lazy river, had fabulous meals in the onsite restaurant and enjoyed the entertainment. We stayed in a caravan style lodge which had all the facilities we needed including much needed Air Conditioning and a beautiful outside area where we could enjoy some red wine whilst the sun was setting.
Our final stay was about 1 hours from Calais, we stayed 1 night to break the journey up and it was a stunning little French village with canals and little French houses. It was a beautiful place to go for an evening stroll and have a glass of wine or two in a local bar.
This is something we will most definitely be doing again. It’s different from the main beach holidays we normally do. France is such a wonderful country and a shame never to visit.
