We normally go to Spain where there is usually plenty to do for the children, could anyone recommend a resort which is child friendly ? Ideally beach, shops for the wife etc etc Sorry if this is a bit vague, I've only ever visited Alpe D Huez so the rest of the country is a bit of a mystery. Thanks      Report

Tranche sur Mer wasn't far either. There is a zoo in Sables d'lonne (or just outside) and a great aquarium in La Rochelle. We went with Eurocamp and stayed  http://www.eurocamp.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=Campsites.ResortOverView&ver=1&Mastercode=147 Last year I visited La Baule, liked that very much too, it's more of a 'resort' http://www.paysdelaloire.co.uk/en/vsaimez/default.asp?idt=7&idst=46&xtor=SEC-5 www.quimperclub.org 99    Report
