Default Going to France - Where to go

Me and family are going to France next month, will be staying in Fosses, near 20miles from Paris.

Apart from overly expensive Disney Land what else is there to do there for the kids? any specific places i should plan for taking them too..? ones 2 and the other is near 4 years old.


Anyone know?

Crocodile restaurants: Unlimited wine and beer whilst the children play

Apart from that there is the normal Paris stuff: Eiffel tower, Asterix park and some other things here: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2009/04...-do-with-kids/

You didn't say how old your kids are but here's a couple of ideas:

Bateau mouche

Versailles

I would also recommend stopping for coffee & croissant near l'arc de triomphe. Get a table on the pavement so you can watch the spectacle of a 10 lane roundabout. It beats grandstand seats at Silverstone

And if you like seafood: http://www.mollard.fr/

Our (huge blue chip company) has a travel website, I had to go to Lille on business and asked it for places to go, it suggested Brugge, in Brussels. LOL

(Which actually, is way nicer than Lille!)

Not sure how your post is relevant, but it does sounds like your huge blue chip company needs a better travel website. Brugges is not in Brussels. Well not unless you count Milton Keynes as being in London!

I liked Eurodisney and you may find some offers when you travel.

For a 2 and 4 year old Disney is where its at, its magical for children and money well spent. Check out the offers on tickets at the gate they sometimes have 3 for 2 day offers which with young children is a god send as they and you will get tired.
I could name loads of other places to go but keeping 2 and 4 year olds happy is no easy task.
