5 Reasons to Visit Paris
Paris is a brilliant family destination because it combines big-city sightseeing with plenty of open spaces and relaxing moments. Children love spotting the Eiffel Tower from different angles, riding the carousel below it, or sailing toy boats in the Luxembourg Gardens. The city’s museums offer hands-on sections just for kids, and family-friendly boat cruises make exploring extra special. With endless cafés, bakeries, playgrounds, and easy Metro connections, Paris is surprisingly simple to enjoy with children of all ages.

How many people get to say they’ve slept on a frozen lake under the northern lights?! 😮✨
These little cabins are very basic, maybe not ideal for anyone who wants luxury - but - they are on skis 😮 and each evening the owner drags you onto a frozen lake with his snow mobile. No light pollution, no noise, just pure peace (aside from the sound of occasional cracking ice, which is apparently normal 😅😆)
These cabins are with @lakeinarimobilecabins - it was a few years ago that we went. I think they get booked up quite far in advance now - but message the fella, it’s naturally cheaper to book direct 🤍

This is one of the best Eurocamps we’ve been to, particularly for families who love a waterpark! There are so many slides, splash areas and pools to spend the day exploring. On top of that you’re right by a beach, close to the gorgeous city of Venice and there’s even a fun fair!
If you want more information on this camp comment GUIDE and ill send you our Union lido review and guide 💛
This was a PR trip from 2025 but this post and guide were made independently as it’s one of our favourite camps ✨
