    A holiday in Provence with children

    Updated: · 2 min read

    A holiday in Provence with children is all about being outdoors: swimming, exploring and eating together under the open sky. Villa Lorgues is made for that, with a private pool, a large garden and three bedrooms, each with a private bathroom.

    At home in the villa

    Most holiday days start and end at the pool. The garden has a ping pong table in the shade and room for pétanque. The second bedroom with two single beds is ideal for children, and a cot and high chair are available on request.

    Because the bedrooms are on a separate floor, the children can go to bed on time while the parents enjoy the evening on the terrace upstairs.

    Days out for children nearby

    • Gently sloping sandy beaches at Sainte-Maxime (about 50 minutes).
    • Pedal boats into the Gorges du Verdon from Lac de Sainte-Croix (about an hour).
    • The tortoise village (Village des Tortues) in Carnoules.
    • Aqualand water park near Fréjus for a day of slides.
    • The Lorgues market on Tuesday: tasting, looking and picking your own fruit.

    Practical tips

    • Plan outings in the morning and keep the hot afternoon for the pool and a siesta.
    • Bring water shoes for rocky beaches and the Verdon.
    • Supermarkets in Lorgues have everything for children, from nappies to favourite cereals.
    • In spring and autumn we recommend pool heating to keep the water pleasant.
