Family holidays to Normandy
When we travel with kids, we as adults get to experience and glimpse the world through their eyes which has to be one of the best things about family holidays. Normandy is an exciting holiday destination where WWII comes alive and kids can gain an understanding of a bygone history as they see museums, ruins and much more. Its shores have seen William the Conqueror sail for England, and the arrival of the Vikings but… when kids just need to be kids? There are lots of fun things to see and do in Normandy!
Family days out and attractions in Normandy
Normandy guarantees you and your children magical holiday memories as you discover some of her fantastic attractions…let’s go!
It’s time for some rock-pooling in the bay of Mont St-Michel, an al fresco picnic for lunch and then an adventurous expedition to the Reptilarium; a farm with an amazing array of reptiles: iguanas, crocodiles, lizards, snakes, tortoises, alligators! Look out and don’t get up too close!
Champresus Zoo and Exotic Gardens - This zoo includes a miniature farm or petting zoo with friendly animals that like a pat, as well as an interactive activities and a game park. You can also see wild and domestic exotic animals at play in native landscapes. If you like zoos- then you are in for a treat as there are two more at Jurques and Cerza with hundreds of wild animals from lions to hippos! Kids do love zoos! Happy exploring!
Festyland - Vikings, pirates and so much more! Look out- the kids won’t want to leave! More than 30 attractions from the times of William the Conqueror to present day to keep them busy.
Want a better way to view all the historical sites and museums around Normandy? Take a guided tour as then you’ll be guaranteed to see all of the most important locations, beaches and museums that you probably wouldn’t be able to see all on your own! Another plus: they will provide you with the historical information about what happened in each of these places. Fantastic!
Child friendly accommodation and places to stay in Normandy
A holiday in Normandy offers families lots of options when it comes to accommodation. If you want total luxury a hotel is probably for you; if on the other hand you want maximum entertainment at minimum cost then a tent or mobile home on a campsite is your best option. Self-catering is another great way to go (gites in France) with comfortable homes that suit all types of families and budgets.
Normandy Barrière - Located in the lovely seaside town of Deauville with children’s clubs, a pool and a restaurant that especially caters for kids! Adults can eat there too!
Residence Garden Club - is one of the best known resorts on the Normandy coast with elegant villas, great beach and is set in beautifully landscaped gardens. Best of, this property has a free kids club with qualified activity leaders to make their holiday (and yours) absolutely fantastic!
Residence Green Beach - Built in the Normandy style with slate roofs and wooden shutters, surrounded by landscaped gardens and located near one of the D-Day beaches this is a great family accommodation option. There is also a games area for children.
Family restaurants in Normandy and cuisine
The food in Normandy is fantastic and among the specialties are seafood, meat and cheese to name but a few! Try these family restaurants that welcome children!
La Cale Marine, Carteret - is the place for moules-frites and home-made desserts in a very relaxed, pub-like ambience. Kids love it and yours will too! Just walk in and take a seat!
Le Berlingot, Sortosville en Beaumont - Fantastic for families with plain good food cooked over an open fire with chips and salad in a casual atmosphere! Perfect!

Normandy - Useful tips
July-August is peak season as this is when French families take their holidays so be prepared for crowds and heavy traffic if you are driving and long queues at popular attractions. It is wise to check opening times of sites and museums that you are planning to visit because many have different opening days or hours according to the season. Try hiring a car to visit the beaches on your own and to explore the wonderful rolling countryside, gardens and châteaux throughout Normandy. Normandy is definitely an excellent family holiday choice and for those interested in history the region is full of museums dedicated to Roman History, the Norman Conquest and the Second World War.
