One of the things we love most about our family camping holidays is going to the French supermarkets to do our shopping. I know this may sound odd and you may be asking yourselves, with all the things to do whilst on holiday why do we like the supermarkets so much. It’s got a lot to do with the quality of the food and the wine but most of all it’s about the relaxing atmosphere.
Some people like children’s clubs and others don’t and the decision whether to put your children into a club is a personal one. Some people believe that a family camping holiday in France should be exactly that, a family holiday, where the whole family spend the entire holiday together, enjoying each others company and doing all the things they can’t do together in a normal working week.
We’ve been camping in France many times before and know from experience how stressful a ferry crossing can be when you have small children to entertain. When our youngest first went to France he was just 11 weeks old, and that combined with his two big brothers, who were 23 months and 6 we were prepared for the worst!
One of the most important things to most families when booking their family camping holiday in France are the campsite swimming facilities. Whether you’re a family who like to spend your days at the beach and in the sea or you prefer the superb pool complexes available at the campsite’s we feature, it’s important to consider taking children’s swimming aids with you.
Camping with babies and toddlers in France normally leads to one question! Can we buy baby formula and nappies in France or should we take our own? Baby formula in France tends to have slight differences in the ingredients and therefore may not taste the same. You may also find that the formula is slightly thicker which may not dilute as well and your baby may therefore not enjoy.
If you’re going on your family holiday to France and don’t think you’ll be able to get everything you’ll need to take in your car, don’t worry! Consider getting a roof top box from Amazon. The first thing to note is that the roof box will need to be fixed to roof bars. These bars go from one side of the car to the other and are the anchor point of the roof box.
