Thanks. Where in France are you off to? I lived there for three years and teach French to college students. Our first family holiday was a trip to Brittany in summer 2013 and we’re off to Nantes this summer.

We’re off to Nevez in Brittany this year. Last year we went south to between Nice and St Tropez. Our best holiday ever was travelling all over Normandy and Brittany (camping) for about a month but that was pre kids now we tend to stick to one location for 2-3 weeks! My hubby lived in Normandy once upon a time!
