Family Fun on the French Riviera - My Family Travels
img_10884_1

From parks to plays to pools, amusement for the family on the French Riviera.

Here are some amusements to entertain the family throughout the French Riviera, in Cannes, Nice, and St. Tropez: 

Cannes

Parks and Playgrounds:
At the west end of La Croisette between the Palais des Festivals and the beach, is a shaded grassy park area with a playground, including slides and other equipment. You’ll find a real carrousel there, and sometimes in the summer an even bigger one is set up out on the Esplanade in front of the Palais.

At the east end of La Croisette, just before the new Port Canto Yacht Harbor, is another park and playground.  This one also has carnival-type rides for the bigger kids.

Besides the playground, at the east end of La Croisette is the Jardin Alexandre the Third, a lovely large park filled with flowering gardens.

Cannes Bowling
Billiards
Open: 7 days a week, starting at 3pm     

Swimming Pools:
These are open to visiting families.  Call ahead for hours of operation and bring your own towels and bathing caps.

    Wow, this article really resonated with me! Traveling in Europe with family can be such an incredible adventure, but it definitely comes with its own set of challenges. From navigating unfamiliar streets to finding activities that everyone enjoys, it’s a whirlwind of excitement and sometimes chaos. But hey, isn’t that what makes the best memories? Thanks for sharing your experiences and tips, they’re super helpful for planning our own European family escapade! ???

    Absolutely love this list of Mardi Gras celebrations outside New Orleans! Each destination seems to offer its own unique blend of culture, music, and vibrant festivities. While I’m tempted to explore them all, I can’t help but dream of experiencing the colorful chaos of Mardi Gras in Goa, India. Exploring India’s rich cultural tapestry during this festive season would undoubtedly be an unforgettable adventure. Thanks for inspiring wanderlust with these fantastic recommendations!
