These are unusual times, and the state of affairs can change quickly. Please check the latest guidance before travelling. Our writers visited these hotels prior to the pandemic.
Hotels in France understand how to keep both parents and les enfants happy on any budget, whether it’s a fairytale châteaux, beachside condo, urban palace or playful wood cabin among the treetops. Geographic variety alone translates as buckets of adventure, and you’ll find that hotels – up mountains, by the sea, on rivers and amid vineyards – facilitate a huge choice of concierge activities such as guided walks and cycling itineraries, cookery courses with the pâtisserie chef, horse-riding treks, extreme watersports and even grape-picking as a family outing.
Within the hotels, family rooms embrace everything from suites with extra beds to functional bunk rooms and spacious apartments with kitchenettes. And then there’s the cuisine – simplified and pint-sized in most hotel restaurants to sweeten the fussiest of young gourmets. Our experts round up the best family hotels in France, from Picardie to Provence – especially now that France has been removed from “amber plus” status.
