Even though the south of France has long had a world name as a playground for the rich and famous, the beautiful warm, Mediterranean sea and the light are also an attractive option for families on holiday. Many choose to visit in June or September, ?early? or ?late? in the busy summer season, when the crowds are far more manageable and younger children are less susceptible to have to many problems with the heat. As with any family holiday be it on a package holiday or in one of the many French Riviera villas that are generally accessible, activities will change according to the age of the children.
In pretty much all cases, the internationally renowned beaches of the south of France are a triumph with youngsters and visitors will find that many of them are family friendly.

This is something that allows adults some quiet time safe in the knowledge their children are safe and occupied. A life guard is always on duty.
In general, private beaches have a tendency to be a smarter choice for families. A good price at 12-15 euros a day, they offer attendants, restrooms and showers, and are most frequently connected to restaurants. Families should always be sure to check with the attendants for any age limitations. Water parks like Marineland in Antibes are also a good selection. Youngsters can swim with dolphins, enjoy a water show, or perhaps have a round of miniature golf. Aquatica in Frejus is known for its intricate waterslides and pools.
Find a good travel guide which will help families to plan trips to the main tourist hotspots. Grasse, as an example, is just 15km from Cannes and a 30-minute drive from Nice.

The playground has over 45 games for kids from the age of 5 right through to adult and the site offers a magnificent wide ranging view of the encircling French Riviera.
While not all children will like steered tours or museum visits, not all museums are created equal. A day trip to Monaco might include a stop at the Jacques Cousteau Oceanographic Museum in Monaco Ville. Situated dramatically on top of a cliff with amazing ocean perspectives, the museum?s aquariums house tons of species of fish. Families will enjoy the short hike up the hill to the museum, which is open from 9.30 in the mornings in July and August.
Water sports and outdoor activities like biking or walks in the country are staples for active families. Don?t forget suntan lotion and a push chair for the younger children. Family travel options on the French Riviera are only by the tastes of the family members. Don?t be at all surprised if your teen daughter wants to head directly to the designer boutiques on La Croisette in Cannes or around the casinos in Monte Carlo. Adults may wish to hang on to their purses and emphasise the ?looking? part of window shopping.

Find out what amenities are offered as an element of your accommodations, what local sites are likely to appeal to your youngsters, and what day trips are reasonable from your principal base.
