This charming family holiday home in France gives you the chance to relax and enjoy being together with your tribe.  We are also realists.  That’s why this villa also gives you space to each go do your own thing; by the lake, by the heated pool, on the terrace, maybe go for a walk through the orchard or rest in the hammocks, indoors in the huge Banquet Hall with lounge-kitchen-dining area – and then come back together.

We have lots of facilities and activities to keep them entertained; the new Games Room (for parents / adults and children), with pool table, ping pong, air hockey, bar, table football, full-screen cinema and more (the range of facilities are outlined here) and outside you have the pool and safe enclosure area, plus badminton, golf, mountain bikes and more toys. Its like having your own kids club! Lots of baby and child activities, plenty to do and enjoy.

We have this fantastic new Games Room, which is 15 metres long, for your children, young and old and you and your family to play and have fun together.

When you’re looking for luxury holiday cottages in France with private pool, for your ideal French family holiday stay, you need to know that you can relax and enjoy the surroundings. Our heated private swimming pool has a fully enclosed secure-glass fence all around it, so that your baby or toddler (or toddlers!) and young children cannot inadvertently access the pool. Also from the outside of the glass fence, you can see in, to watch. Your little ones are safe and you can relax; maybe you’ll find yourself relaxed with a glass of wine, maybe read a book!

Attractions & Things To Do For Your Week in France

There is also plenty to do with your children in the local region, as a day-trip out with your children, from your child-friendly villa in France. Just ask at the Jumilhac Tourist Information Office, on the square in Jumilhac (6 minute drive, 4 miles away), to book your gold panning trip, for a great French family holiday experience with your children, to find gold (we did) and explore.  We have a collection of spare welly boots you can borrow, but it can be done in rough old trainers. We are 2 hours drive to the beaches on the west coast. The beach of Arcachon on the coast is really beautiful.
