FRANCE
France is where we learned that luxury travel and family travel don't have to be different trips. We've pushed a stroller through the Tuileries, eaten eight-course Michelin meals in a harbor town of six thousand people, and watched our kids swim in calanque coves that look photoshopped in person. This hub collects everything we've written about France — every hotel independently paid for, every restaurant found the hard way, no sponsored stays and no paid placements.
Most of our France time has been spent in the south, split between the hilltop villages and vineyard estates of Provence and the coastline that runs from Cassis to the Riviera. But Paris earns its place here too, especially for families who assume the city is too formal for kids — it isn't, and we wrote the guide to prove it. Start with the region you're planning, or browse the full index below.
Paris
Paris with kids is one of the most rewarding city trips in Europe if you plan it around the right neighborhoods, parks, and pastry stops. Our guide covers where to stay, what to skip, and how to keep the trip elegant without pretending you don't have children with you.
Provence
Provence is lavender fields and hilltop villages, but it's also one of the best family destinations in France — slow mornings, market towns, and pool afternoons. Cassis, the harbor town where Provence meets the Mediterranean, gets its own guides because we think it's the most underrated base on the entire southern coast.
The South of France & the Riviera
The Côte d'Azur is the France most people picture — Cap-Ferrat palaces, Saint-Tropez beach clubs, and the coastal towns in between. These guides cover where to stay at every register of luxury, which beach towns are actually worth building a trip around, and how to do the whole region with kids in tow.
