It's little wonder why France is ranked as the number one holiday destination in the world, attracting around 82 million tourists every year. As well as other types of tourism, family holidays in France account for a large percentage of this annual number and are undoubtedly due to the uniquely wide and diverse range of natural and commercial attractions that the country has to offer. In this article we aim to touch on just a few of them to help whet your appetite.





First of all, family holidays in France work because it is a very children and family-friendly country. Thanks to a good infrastructure, France benefits from very good transport links, which include toll roads - to help avoid traffic congestion, frequent and well-equipped service stations, high-speed rail and extensive standard rail links, and over 475 airports throughout the country. In addition to this, the French are very good at providing family-friendly facilities whether at holiday resorts, country clubs, or private holiday accommodation.


What would a holiday be if it didn't involve any sightseeing or attractions? There are such an astonishing number of attractions throughout the country that is goes without saying that family holidays in France can be fascinating, action-packed, educational and thrilling. For a holiday filled with constant fun and excitement, Disneyland Paris is ideal. As Europe's most popular theme park, it provides an experience that the whole family, particularly the children, will remember for the rest of their lives. If you're looking for a way to entertain your kids to the max and fill them full of wonder, then this is it.


Alternatively, if you are looking for educational family holidays in France, to add a bit of culture into the trip, then look no further than Paris. Arguably one of the world's best-loved and most magical capitals, Paris has also been voted among the top three most important capitals in the world, and it's little wonder why upon closer inspection. Packed full of political, religious and cultural history, Paris is home to some of the most precious historical sites in the world, many of which are to be found along the banks of the Seine River - formally recognised UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. These include the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the Lourve, the Grand Palais des Champs Elysees, the Eiffel Tower and the Sainte Chapelle, to name but a few.


Of course, if none of this is to your taste, there are also outstanding recreational family holidays in France to be found no matter what you're interested in. From world class surf breaks, to world class ski slopes, France really is able to offer something for everyone. If you're looking for a relaxing holiday in a beautiful location, then there are also many high class golf and country clubs around France, particularly in the Dordogne Valley that provide easy access to many attractions as well as superb family facilities and access to recreational facilities such as swimming pools, golf courses, and tennis courts.
