Ideas for family vacations in France
A family vacation in France means enjoying yourself just a few hours’ drive from home! France is a country with a lot to offer: between the sea and ocean for swimming, the mountains for skiing and the countryside for relaxing, there’s plenty to keep you busy. So set off on an adventure with your family by exploring Azureva destinations that guarantee a change of scenery just a few kilometers from home.
France: A multitude of destinations for family vacations
Surprise your children with the breathtaking cliffs of Brittany, the endless sandy beaches of the Vendée, the high peaks of the Pyrenees, the eternal snows of the Alps, the rice fields of the Camargue, the medieval castles of the Auvergne, the mysterious forests of the Vosges. Or do your family members prefer thrills and spills? Then head for Anglet, Hossegor or Lacanau, which take on a Pacific feel thanks to the surfers who indulge in the pleasure of riding the waves. For a vacation away from the stress of the car, take your family to the island of Oléron, where cycling is king. The Spanish countryside is not far from Argelès-sur-Mer in the Pyrénées-Orientales, where you can even hear the sound of flamenco music. Whatever your desire for a change of scenery or a taste of the exotic, France offers you the diversity of its horizons to satisfy your desire for discovery and excitement as a family. And landscapes aren’t the only advantage of a vacation in France: the heritage, culture and encounters in the various French regions also provide a refreshing sense of exile! So, for a holiday away from the beaten track, discover our many choices of family summer vacations.

In a vacation village, vacations are for everyone
In a vacation village, everyone has fun (and not just the children). If you book a stay at Club Azureva, your children can make new friends and discover new fun activities adapted to their ages in the kids’ and teens’ clubs. And while they’re at it, you too can do what you like! If you go to the Azureva Anglet Theme Village, for example, while your children are being looked after by an activity leader, you can try your hand at some hair-raising activities: jet skiing, towed buoys, canyoning, kayak surfing, diving, surfing, rafting, Hawaiian pirogue… Do you want to take advantage of your vacation to relax? Enjoy the sound of the waves, relaxed, stretched out on the beach, and let go of any mental burden for an afternoon without children…
A vacation village means peace of mind
All year round, you have to think about material contingencies: the shopping to do for dinner, then the preparation of dinner, the housework that awaits… And when the vacations arrive, it’s even worse, because you have to think about everything when it’s time to pack! Why not take a break? Opt for a stay in a vacation village to really unwind and let go. The whole point of a vacation is to put your worries aside. Even multitasking minds need a rest now and then. So book your vacation at a Club Azureva… Because in our vacation villages, we’ve thought of everything for you. Take the Azureva Les Karellis mountain vacation village in Savoie. There’s no need for a long list of “must-haves” – we’ll make you feel right at home. When you arrive, the beds are made, the towels are waiting for you in the bathroom, and you can have all your meals on a full-board basis if you decide to go on strike! And when it’s time to leave, there’s no need to rush everyone: cleaning is included in the price of your stay.
Outside France’s vacation villages, the world is yours to discover
Azureva Clubs are located in the most beautiful regions of France. This means they offer holidays that reflect the area in which they are located. As there’s a whole world to discover outside the vacation village – even if you’re so comfortable there that you don’t want to leave – we organize “destination discovery” activities. You’ll be able to take a stroll and visit exceptional sites with your family or friends, while benefiting from the knowledge and enthusiasm of a Village Club activity leader or experienced guide. There’s a saying that travel makes you young. What it forgets to mention is that, at any age, travel brings a new perspective to life. In fact, travel invites discovery, and discovery leads to knowledge!
Vacation villages designed for families
When you choose a family vacation destination, you want to be sure that the place is welcoming for your whole family. At Azureva, we’re proud to have been awarded the “Family Plus” label for several of our Clubs, Mountain Clubs and Theme Villages. This label is awarded to destinations that take special care of children… and their parents! Azureva’s Family Plus destinations offer a personalized welcome and entertainment for children and their parents, rates adapted to family composition, activities to enjoy as a family or on your own, and a multitude of on-site services for a vacation with peace of mind.
Vacation villages: parting for better togetherness
Children’s clubs and activities for parents offer time for everyone to learn a new sport or hobby. But the ultimate aim of a vacation village stay is still to have fun together. Azureva’s Clubs and Theme Villages offer a wide variety of activities for the whole family to enjoy: mini-golf, swimming pools, bike rides, table tennis and more. And in the evening, everyone can enjoy a convivial meal in the Club or Village restaurant.
