Family Discovery Guide
What would you like to do?
Beaches, gardens, workshops and weekends where children and parents both make friends.
1. Nantes: machines and islands
The giant mechanical animals of the Île de Nantes and a green line painted on the pavement make the city an adventure.
2. Atlantic beaches
La Rochelle's port and Biarritz's beaches: rock pools, surf schools and family bike paths.
Tip: Swim at supervised beaches and follow the flag colours.
3. Rainy days
Board-game afternoons, children's art mornings and libraries with story hours.
4. Parents meet too
Babysitting circles and play streets turn a holiday or a new town into a network of families.
