Finding a holiday location that suits both adults and children isn't always easy. You need to find somewhere to stay where you will all feel comfortable. Not a snooty place, where staff or other guests shush your children if they run down a corridor, or somewhere full of low-lying precious objects that invite disaster. Somewhere warm enough for mum and dad, not too arduous a journey for a young baby and memorable enough to provide holiday snaps to embarress the older ones!

France ticks all of these boxes! And what's great is that you can get there easily from Ireland by plane or by sea!We take a look at five very different options!
