travelling with kids
Holidays are meant to be relaxing but as you probably know if you have young kids, the disruption to their routine and a change in environment can sometimes prove to be tricky! Here are a few handy hints for your journey.
tire them out!
If your toddler falls asleep easily, try to plan your journey so that they are tired out when you set off. That way, you can guarantee you'll get some peace before you need to start entertaining him or her.
plan your stops!
If you're travelling by car, work out when your toddler is likely to need a break and work out your motorway exits. If it's a long trip you're going to need a couple, which will probably add an hour or two on to your journey. Yes, the journey will take longer, but at least your toddler will burn off some energy running around the service stations (which are fabulous in France) and you can relax with a cup of tea and a croissant. French motorways also have toilet stops every few kilometres.
