Tips for an enjoyable Family Time on the wild French Coast
A real insider tip for the family holiday in Brittany with children hides in the small village “La Fontaine aus Bretons” in front of the port town of Pornic, on a dreamlike piece of coastal land, the Eco Domaine de la Fontaine. Behind the stately entrance gate wait with width and sea view, vineyards, apple and pear plantations, wild vegetable beds, herb gardens and halfway to the house, the refreshing fountain.
Everywhere between lavender bushes full of butterflies and fruit trees, you can look for a nice place in the shade and try the delicacies of the Maison. Juices from the fruits of the farm, a vegan menu with vegetables from the beds next door and for dessert organic ice cream from the region. For parents, there is wine from our own cultivation.
That’s why the kids also love the holiday in Brittany.
Because French dinners can be very extensive and sometimes challenge the patience of the children, the hotel for les Enfants has provided a own playground with football goal, bouncy balls, Hula hoops and huge building blocks. In addition, there are many animals to discover on the farm , from the five hanging belly pigs to guinea pigs to chickens, horses and donkeys.
Before going to bed, we say “bonne nuit” to the sea on the doorstep. Between sheep pastures and the typical fisherman’s huts on the Jade coast, the Eco Domaine is located directly on the Plage aux Bretons. At low tide, you can climb over the rocks with the children for hours and find the “Peche a pied” mussels and marine animals right in front of your nose.
This is what you can discover around in Brittany with children.
In the basin in front of the opposite Ile de Noirmoutier, the Atlantic is quiet and was ideal for the beach day with small children. If you are more looking for a surf spot in the region, the Plage de l´Ermitage on the open sea side is recommended, a perfect location to learn surfing. The Atlantic Surf School rents boards for little money and has a lot of patience with the Petites Surfers.
For the most beautiful end to a day in the Pays de la Loire, the small bay at Plage du Portmain is a real insider tip. The best Moules Fries, a terrific menu enfants and free sea noise are there at the beach bar “Le Papagayo”. On the weekend, not only the bartender, but also a DJ mixes the best combinations for the sundowner.
