For families whose best travel experiences involve a mix of kid-friendly sightseeing and downtime, a vacation to the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France is a good choice. Children will love this variety too: They can go olive oil tasting, bike around charming villages or try out watersports. For a really unique component to the trip, book a kid-friendly river barge for your accommodations. It’s a logistics-free way of seeing more of this region without constantly unpacking and repacking. For more amenities, consider a countryside resort with dedicated children’s play areas or a luxury resort that focuses on pampering the whole family.
