Ciao Bambino is often asked for recommendations on the best place to visit in France outside Paris. A vacation to the Dordogne is at the top of our list, because the amount of kid-friendly things to do in a small geographic area is endless. Cultural and historic touring, like spelunking in prehistoric caves or exploring weekly markets, can easily be combined with active days biking, hiking, swimming and canoeing. Families need a kid-friendly home base to ensure everyone gets enough rest for all this fun, and the Dordogne has options for every preference, including local farm stays.

Our Happy Travelers

“I have been blown away with the services you provide. I first contacted Barbara last summer on a recommendation to Ciao Bambino from a friend. I wasn't sure what to expect as I had not used this type of service before. We were beyond impressed with everything Barbara set up for our family.”

–Detter Family Trip

"It was an amazing trip. I can’t thank you enough for all your help. I loved the itinerary app. It made the trip so easy. You’re truly the reason this trip was perfect."

–MacNeill Family Trip

"Thank you for all of your support and expert tips. Everything went seamlessly, all our activities were wonderful and working with you made all of the planning so easy for me as a working mum. All the activities Melissa chose were tailored to my children's likes and also had a great blend of education and great fun."

–Silva Family Trip

"We just returned home and we are all still feeling the glow of the wonderful 2 weeks. Everything went smoothly and the itinerary was well thought out and worked well for our group. I know a lot of thought went into planning it."

–Heckman Family Trip

"I couldn't be happier with my experience. Just talking with Cary gave me a baseline foundation to build on - one that I didn't have time to get from reading a guidebook and distilling it. I am not sure how I would have gotten this trip together without her help. I will definitely get in touch before our next trip!"
