I tried to live my childhood holiday with a family trip to Eurocamp – that’s what I discovered


IIt is interesting how valuable holidays are often born of the most unexpected moments.

I remember, as a young child, laughing at hysterical as my family found any space for stretching the bodies in a small Vauxhall Nova for an overnight sleep in a dormitory outside Paris after not finding a single hotel room.

I will never forget the soothing look at my mother’s face. When my father and I finally returned, fortunately returned, a longer trip to the Nevada Desert, or the simple pleasure of kicking empty ice cream cartons for targets on Lisbon Street.

My childhood holiday was simply and independently (as far as a book from the Rough Guide series allows my parents anyway).

Any pre -programmed week of events or activities under the flag of closed holiday was created by my father. The best way to find the missing self, besieged by people who speak a foreign language, was his mantra from being a holiday representative.

Drawing on paper towels to show the need for the hotel room was not unusual for my father, which was a communist country run by his mother on vacation, then a communist country run by the Tito dictator.

Such a thirst for adventure, even if it leads to uncomfortable events, is performed in the family.

I mean, no snowblasses when I say I will avoid closed holidays. As a fast, easy and affordable option, two -thirds of people traveling abroad last year booked them with their popularity with Spanish, Greece and Italy’s most visited resorts.

However, after a full -fledged holiday in Girana, with my one and two -year -old kids, my partner and I felt that this year, two years later, it was the time of our childhood holiday.

From the moment of arriving at Domaine des ormes Domaine Domaine, we knew that we had a complete race.

After a relatively short two -hour driving of fat, where we had a four -hour British boat from Poole, we slowly dragged to the park, our necks wanted to go to the big Timetep adventure period.

To our right, we quickly made the glass dome of the large swimming pool in the heart of the park. Then we saw the families by bike, a line of small horses mounted by children and a quiet lake with pedals.

Five minutes of walking from our Park Park Center for the week was a three -bedroom premium house, a comfortable and comfortable mobile home, a refrigerator, stove and a shower.

Despite every car used on the road, we felt to allow the kids to happily immerse ourselves in our new environment.

A useful mobile phone program, evening events, including a winter -themed exhibition and football, plus a set of great activities, from archery to zipper wires to crazy golf.

The park, which is 400 hectares from the suburbs, was a pool, interior and foreign complex. The larger dome pool had water waterfalls, a wave pool, a splash pool and a lazy river. Outdoor pool with more slides to shine the sun, plus a shallow area for young young people with jacuzzi. Both were suitable for our two young children, but they were suitable for adolescents.

Far from the water, we could not withstand our reservation during the adventure tree.

The price of about 10 pounds for children and 17 pounds for adults was open to several different difficulties for anyone who was four years old, with the toughest test of my restrictions on high altitudes and upper body strength.

A zipper line at the center of the park only costs 4 pounds for both of them, each of which is allowed to continue work, including my elders, whose enjoyable face at the bottom just matches my extraordinary expression.

After a quiet time in the pedal, only 1.80 pounds for an hour, there was a good choice from cafes and restaurants to make a beer and a glass of white wine. This year, the work has just been completed to upgrade the restaurant offer, with the latest Brasserie 1977 – especially sharp. There was also a very popular pizza. But for those who wish to eat, there was also a very well -equipped shop on the site, where prices were just a little higher.

We would take every day, finding a new adventure for each morning, in the park and out. The most important advantage of being on a site with a car was the ability to discover and discover the surrounding attractions such as Monte Saint Michel, below 20 miles away or a medieval city near Dol-De-Bretagne and a beautiful beachfront of Malmo.

At Fougers, about an hour driving, the largest medieval castle in Europe was a good day, where the kids were watching as a trebuchet. My partner and I later enjoyed crepes on the streets of the old town.

And for those who wish to leave the car, the bike is available for rent in the park, and the beautiful villages of Bonnemain and Saint Leonard are a close -up cycle. Unlike a closed holiday destination, like cycling in a tourist strip is not endless. Outside the park, you feel you are in France.

From windows full of flowers to fairy and open desk bistros buildings, this is a pure wind paradise.

This week ended with my family matches through events that had not yet reached them. Horse riding, golf and paintball are just some of the activities you should try next time.

The Eurocamp was a holiday that I never considered before – now with my own children, it has rapidly increased at the top of the list for the coming year.

To be honest, this is my surprise. Packaged and cracks in the car and crosses the outlet for the last time, the youngest said, “I want to go back.” We laughed in the car. I replied, “next year, maybe”.
