Child friendly farm stay France??

[hoppermum]

Good people of ED (happy new year!)

I am looking for recommendations for a child friendly hol in France.

Needs to be a cottage, ideally on a farm with farmy activities for the kids. Not really fussed where in France as it will be May so average weather everywhere. Will have a 2.8 year old and 6 month old.

Any recommendations please!

Have you seen Pagel? It's not exactly a farm stay but might be up your street

Hi there... just wanted to recommend my brother and sister-in-law's gites in Brittany. They have an alpaca farm (as well as chickens, dogs etc) and beautiful gites. We have two year old twins and they have a blast whenever we go to stay. It is very child-friendly - kids can collect the eggs every day, help with animals etc. You can go on lovely walks directly from the gites into the woods and their farm is at the end of a long, country road so no traffic at all other than the tractor (which the kids love). Lots of fun things to do nearby, including an amazing, huge (and usually pretty empty) softplay centre in nearby Pontivy. They can provide cots, highchairs etc with enough notice, as well as a big box of toys. If you google them, they are "Quelvehin Alpagas".

We have a cottage, le petit tresor (www.le-tresor.com), which may be of interest to you? It is next to the chambres d'hotes. The cottage is self catering, but you have the option of having breakfasts and evening meals served to you! If this is not want you are looking for try Montengrand.com.

We stayed at Montengrand and it is lovely. Perfect for a relaxing family holiday.
