Travel, Holiday

Our Perfect Al Fresco Holidays: LA SIRENE

For us our holidays revolve around our two children, anywhere we pick needs to have plenty of on-site entertainment to keep them occupied.  We do sight see but there are only so many old buildings I can drag them around before they pull a face, stamp their feet and get a bit grizzly! Tots 100 challenged us to pick our favourite Al Fresco Holiday destination in France.

At 7 and 9 they enjoy trying out new activities and the Al Fresco Holidays LA SIRENE campsite in Roussillon has an impressive list of activities for them to enjoy. After games of football, volleyball, basketball, field hockey, fencing and French boules they should be suitably tired!  So I could sit back and relax with a nice glass of wine and watch the evening entertainment in peace.  As much as our holidays are focused on the kids as a parent I need time to relax and recuperate too.

Water Park

The impressive water park would keep my two happy; it’s all set in a landscaped garden that is very picturesque but with lots of fun promised!

The most perfect place for your children to make friends and socialise – and tire themselves out so they quit arguing!

Kids Club

There is a kids club for 3-12 year olds, which is a nice option if you need it. I like having it as a back up just in case, but with the vast swimming pools, playgrounds and beach on the doorstep there is so much to do already. LA SIRENE really is the most ideal family campsite.

Shop

There is also an onsite shop and for less than 3 euros (£2.50) you can get some excellent local rosé wine – need I have a better reason to tempt you to book a holiday to LA SIRENE! Being self catering you can indulge in all the delicacies of the region or if you have fussy eaters just fill them with crusty baguettes and cheese!

Beach

The land bus takes you to the clean beach, ideal for a family stroll.  Or we would most likely hire bikes to cycle along the promenade and see the fishing village. As a family we like to be active and explore the immediate area we are staying in.

Al Fresco Holidays

I would probably like to hire a car so we could adventure out a couple of days too; Perpignan is only 14 miles away and has lots to offer.  I would enjoy seeing the beautiful Cathedrale St-Jean with all the gold leaf gleaming and the remarkable stained glass windows, but would bribe the children with the offer of a visit to the Cemoi chocolate makers afterwards. We all have a sweet tooth in our family! For us holidays are about balance making sure there is something to keep everyone happy. A mixture of activities to suit everyone.

I would like to take my parents on our dream holiday because they are getting older and I want the boys to have lots of fond memories with their grandparents. My mum turns 70 this year so it’s a special birthday year and I think holidays with extended family are so precious. I like the children knowing just how important family are that they are worth taking on holiday with us.
