Holidays for young and old .

The years seem to pass in the blink of an eye, so our little spring getaway has become a kind of ritual for us four. These moments together are precious so the children’s grandfather and I try to come up with new activities and locations every year. The fun starts on the train, when we study the itinerary for the week… 

We happily went for a ‘holiday village’, which is very safe with young children. This year, we chose ‘Les heures claires’ family holiday village in Sainte-Maxime, which was well-located and had family-friendly facilities. The children were able to stay up late with the Maxi-club, which allowed us to treat ourselves to a little romantic escape…

Our week included a mixture of outdoor activities and cultural visits. This year, Marc introduced the children to golf, and they took their first swing on the Blue Green golf course! A memorable trip to Aquascope was also a lot of fun – gazing at the undersea world is fascinating for all ages. We went at a relaxed pace, and chose several restaurants on the sea-front so the children could play on the beach.

With Saint-Tropez nearby, we had a greater choice of activities, and although we might be grandparents who like to spoil their grandchildren a bit, we are responsible enough not neglect the educational aspect of the holiday! The children’s curiosity going round the museums is a real highlight of our holidays together. Overall, Sainte-Maxime turned out to be the ideal holiday destination – everything is designed with families in mind, which was perfect for us, as we want to see our grandchildren grow and have peace of mind…
