Best Family Hotels in France
The Daily Telegraph has produced a list of the best family hotels in France, and what a choice there is! Where do you start as so many of them look so nice. I suppose it depends on what kind of holiday you’re after - do you want to stay by the coast, or have a holiday in the mountains or countryside? How far are you prepared to travel, particularly if you have young children? Most importantly, how much do you want to spend as I imagine some of them aren’t particularly cheap!
One of the best places we’ve stayed in which is great for families is Barneville Carteret in Manche, Normandy. We’ve been several times and found a friendly family run ‘hotel’ which is more holiday apartments with B&B at about 60 euros per night, great value! The beach is fab, when the tide is out it stretches for miles with views across to Jersey and the seafood restaurants are wonderful. If you don’t want to travel far when you get to France it’s perfect as it takes about 30 minutes to get there from Cherbourg.
