BORDEAUX
IS THE FIRST MAJOR FRENCH TOWN
TO BE AWARDED THE NATIONAL "Family
Plus" SEAL OF APPROVAL
"Family Plus", an ideal
destination for the young and
the not so young! Families travelling
with young children can rely on
the "Family Plus" hallmark
and seal of approval to make sure
their holiday in Bordeaux is a
success.
An ideal destination for the young
and the not so young
"Family Plus", an ideal
destination for the young and
the not so young! Families travelling
with young children can rely on
the "Family Plus" hallmark
and seal of approval to make sure
their holiday in Bordeaux is a
success.
Bordeaux is the first major town
in France to be awarded this new
seal of approval, which is recognised
by the French Ministry for Tourism.
The hallmark makes it easy to
see just what is on offer for
families in terms of holiday destinations
and family-friendly services available
when they get there.
The scheme helps reconcile the
differing expectations of children
and their parents, by ensuring
that the holiday offers what everyone
in the family is looking for:
special prices, special activities
for children led by professional
staff, special family-centred
accommodation and services...
Parents and children can thus
enjoy their stay in Bordeaux both
together and separately: children
can take part in activities designed
specially for them while their
parents choose something else…and
then they can get together again
afterwards.
On our website you will find everything
that has been awarded the "Family
Plus" label: accommodation,
restaurants, places to visit,
activities and services.
And remember: if you are
travelling with very young
children, the vast majority
of establishments displaying
the "Family Plus"
sign can provide any special
baby equipment you may need
(travel cot, high-chair...)
and you can hire push-chairs,
car seats and baby back-packs
in Bordeaux. So you can
really
travel light!
Also, don't forget to get
a copy of the
"Tourist Guide for
Children and their Families"
from the Tourist Office.
It contains everything children
from 1-14 years old and
their families could wish
to know about what Bordeaux
has to offer: culture and
the arts, shows, leisure
activities, excursions,
workshops, anniversaries,
courses, trips, a diary,
information, useful addresses
for parents, teachers, other
professionals who work with
children...
