Organizing a family vacation with children in France is not a difficult task. A huge number of historical monuments, unique museums, a large number of amusement parks and, of course, the famous Disneyland Paris. So the vacation in France with children will definitely be very exciting. The main thing is not to overdo the saturation of the program, so as not to tire the kids.
Educational Program
The best way to refresh your and your child's knowledge of history is to head to the Loire Valley or Poitou-Charentes. In the former case, you'll get an almost open-air history museum. The sheer number of castles, each one marked by events from French history, will delight your child.
And if you want to see France's military heritage while on vacation with kids, go to La Rochelle, to the ancient fortresses and lighthouses. By the way, there are also some nice beaches near the city, suitable for vacationing with children.
In addition to the ancient monuments in Poitou-Charentes, you'll find unusual museums that will be of particular interest to children. These include the Maritime Museum nearby La Rochelle, the Museum of Mechanical Figures in the town itself, and the Aquarium with exotic sea creatures. In Montmorillon you'll find the Almond and Macaroon Museum, and in the Chateau of Clairvaux the Chess Museum. Prices for children's tickets to the different museums range from 5 to 12 EUR, for adults from 10 to 20.
The best holiday in France with children will, of course, be a visit to one of its amusement parks. At the top of the list stands Disneyland Paris. This magnificent park, filled with Disney characters and thrilling rides, will bring endless joy to your kids and leave unforgettable memories.
It’s best to go in spring or autumn, when there are fewer tourists and the weather is milder. However, keep an eye on the French school calendar — if you visit Disneyland during school holidays, you’ll still find large crowds. Ticket prices are €89 for adults and €82 for children. It’s advisable to book your tickets in advance on the website to save both time and money.
