We are looking to go away in September ish for a week with baby. I am keen to minimise travel. Baby is great on trains so I'm thinking eurostar to Paris and then as short as possible a drive or train journey to a villa or holiday rental. Has anyone else done this or can recommend? We have been to Paris a lot so not wanting to stay there really. A lake would be great, I love a lake.

if you take the shuttle and don't want to drive for ages, a nearby nice destination (IF THE WEATHER IS OK! but same for Normandy/Brittany ...)is : LE TOUQUET Paris-plage. 45 min driving from Calais


Massive sand beach. Woods are lovely offering nice walk among beautiful houses, when it's too hot to go to the beach. You can do a lots of activities there (amazing golf, poney for young kids from 3 with short ride in the woods, water park called Aqualud on the seafront, lots of water sports clubs...). From Le Touquet, you can go to NAUSICA, one of the biggest European aquarium in Boulogne, visit Cap Blanc-nez go to the wild resort "Wissant" famous for windsurf, etc.

it's without saying there are lovelies restaurants , nice/fresh seafood and great shops (usefull when the weather is crap as often it is in this part of France! it's the same kind of weather than we have in the UK).


We really well know this resort as my parents have a property there ,so if you need any advice for nice restaurants, ice cream stop, etc, you can Pm me!


My son 3,5 yrs old , just came back from 1 week holidays in Le Touquet with his grand-parents and they had a "french riviera" weather!

    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.
