The Bassin d’Arcachon : 12 things to do as a family
This summer, we went back as a family to the Bassin d’Arcachon. We absolutely love this area! This wasn’t our first stay on the Bassin, so I felt like sharing a round-up of our favourite spots and child-friendly activities. Depending on the length of your stay, you won’t necessarily manage to do everything. My list is a summary of three stays there. Of course, there are places we happily return to, beaches we particularly enjoy, and oyster huts where we love meeting up with friends. For us, the Bassin d’Arcachon really goes hand in hand with reunions, as several of our friends spend their summers there.… —— Lire la suite ——

Santorini as a family, on foot and by bus
This summer, we visited Santorini as a family during our trip exploring three Cycladic islands. I had some concerns about Santorini as everyone seems to love it but often finds it too crowded. So, first, we aimed for the start of the school holidays in July and second, we decided not to hire a car. We spent 4 days/3 nights in Santorini, as a family, getting around on foot and by bus. When we made the decision to go “car-free in Santorini”, I struggled to find information about whether getting around on foot and by bus would allow us to fully enjoy the island.… —— Lire la suite ——

Family vacation in the Cyclades: Santorin, Milos, Sifnos
Last July, we went to the Cyclades for the first time. We’d been tempted by these Greek islands for so long! We had already visited several islands in Greece: Corfu, Kefalonia and Ithaca on the Ionian Sea, and also Crete, but we didn’t know the Cyclades yet. We first considered renting a sailboat, but I was wary of the infamous meltem, the strong wind that can be fierce in summer… If I’m not mistaken, Ulysses had some trouble with it… I didn’t want to deal with it: Papa Voyage is a good skipper; I’m not quite a top crew member yet!… —— Lire la suite ——

A week in the sunshine of Tenerife with the family
During the Christmas holidays, we spent a week in the sunshine of Tenerife with the family. We loved it! That said, I was a little apprehensive because we had already been on holiday in Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, and the bar was set pretty high! But we weren’t disappointed. Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands; Mount Teide is impressive and it’s clearly a perfect destination for hiking lovers — but not only for them! So here’s a glimpse of what we managed to do in one week in Tenerife, bearing in mind that it’s a short time for such a large island, so we’ll definitely be going back to explore more!… —— Lire la suite ——

Our one-week Cornwall road-trip
In July we took the several hours of road towards the West: Cornwall. It is actually the most South-Western point of England. A bit equivalent to Britanny in my native France 😉 There really are a lot of points in common. Both are magnificently wild, both have coves with turquoise and emerald water, both give an impression of ‘the remote end of the world’, both with proud inhabitants, beautiful stone cottages, good seafood… But Cornwall is still different from Brittany: flora, landscape, vibe, architecture and the language – obviously! Let me take you on a one-week road-trip through Cornwall.… —— Lire la suite ——
