Aquitaine

Child-friendly holidays in Dorodogne, with its slow family friendly paced lifestyle and stunning scenery...

The Dordogne boasts some of France’s finest medieval architecture, fantastic caves and stunning forests which make it a fine holiday destination for families.

The slower pace of life is ideal for families with babies whilst river canoeing is a must for the kids. The Dordogne River is dotted with lovely sandy beaches offering an alternative to the seaside for toddlers to paddle and swim in. Parents can also enjoy the region’s rich food and fine wines.

Our family-friendly properties here offer a choice of accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets from stylish manors to cluster gites with the usual Holiday Tots list of baby and toddler equipment as well as some fantastic entertaining for older kids and adults.

Further south west the Gironde borders the Atlantic coast and has some wonderful beaches and coastal towns to explore along with its impressive city, Bordeaux, and renowned wine regions.

In a nut shell the Aquitaine has it all; awesome beaches, pre-historic caves, amazing surf and attractions such as Arachon sand dune with its 3km long dune, great beach, watersports, aquarium and museum in the south west of Bordeuax, Kidparc - awesome for little ones too, an adventure island of rides and activities and numerous surf schools in Landes and Biarritz in particular, (known as the ‘California of Europe’) Lots of adventure and lots of fun.
