Kids Favourites in Provence

To help you decide the places that your children will most enjoy we decided to list here the things our children most liked to do in Provence.  This is not a scientific process as children tend to only remember the things they have done on recent holidays and obviously it is influenced by the child's age and whether they are a boy or a girl.  The list that follows is averaged over 7 children, 2 boys and 5 girls, ranging in age from 6 to 16.Haribo Museum

1.  Haribo Museum (top right).  Voted number one by everyone!

2.  Aigues-Mortes (centre right). Lovely little walled town with shops to browse and open air bistros.

3.  Canoeing on the Cèze.  Ideal for the younger ones as the river is usually slow flowing in the summer.
