Family Weekends
5 family-friendly weekend ideas, from parks to nature and discoveries.
Five of France's most spectacular theme parks, chosen for family weekends that won't leave anyone exhausted. The Puy du Fou and its grand live shows, Futuroscope and its immersive rides, Vulcania in the heart of the Auvergne volcanoes, Nausicaá and its giant tank, the Cité de l'Espace in Toulouse: each makes a two- or three-day break, accommodation included. Rather than rushing through them all, pick one per getaway and alternate thrills, science and nature to suit your children's ages. Book tickets online to skip the queues, and aim for term-time if you can: crowds thin out and so do prices. An ideal selection for spreading outings across the year.
