Young family and Cote D'azur

Hi,

We%26#39;re staying at Douce Quietude with Keycamp for 10 days in mid May and, looking at the weather forecast, it seems like it might be quite showery on certain days.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep a 2-year old amused in the area when the weather for outdoors isn%26#39;t quite the best?

Any day trip suggestions greatly appreciated and any other advice on the region as a young family too.

Thanks in advance

Hello

There%26#39;s lots of things to do around the area:

Locally, there%26#39;s Frejus Zoo, which is very large and has lots of animals to see...and you drive around it so no need for wet weather gear. There%26#39;s also Aqualand, which you%26#39;ll be wet at anyway :-) There%26#39;s an indoor swimming pool at the %26#39;Base Nature%26#39; in Frejus, where you can also skateboard at the skatepark, hire bikes etc.

There is a LaserQuest on Zone Palaud in Frejus, as well as a 10 pin bowling centre

Further afield, you could drive over to Monaco and do a lap of the grand prix circuit (1 hours drive away), drive to Cannes, St Tropez, perhaps the Gorges du Verdon (The Grand Canyon of Europe!!) which is approx 1.5 hours away...stunning!

Drive up to Grasse to the perfume factories, where they do a tour of how perfume is made and smell the different perfumes. Fragonard and Gallimard are the two big boys

Hope this helps!

Many thanks for your information - we%26#39;ll definitely be taking up your advice on a couple of those. Hopefully, the weather isn%26#39;t looking too bad but you never know !!
