A FAMILY HOLIDAY THAT IS FAR FROM MISÉRABLES

For families looking to sample some French culture this summer, look no further than a break to Picardy with Keycamp. The town of Montreuil-sur-Mer – the birthplace of the hit show Les Misérables; will be hosting performances from 27 – 30 July and 3 – 6 August, so families can combine sun, sea and sand with a sound and light show musical extravaganza. And with seven nights from just £981 for the whole family, accommodation only – an affordable summertime break is well within reach.

Keycamp's Chateau de Drancourt parc at St Valery is the perfect base to explore everything this diverse region has to offer. As well as being in easy reach of Montreuil-sur-Mer, home to the most famous novel of 19th century French literature, there's an array of other attractions to visit for those looking to soak up some culture – from the 15th century château of Rambures, to the Picardy Museum, housed in a quintessentially French mansion. And for the kids – Aqualand Waterpark and Parc Bagatelle theme park are sure to be a hit.

For a day away from the sights, Chateau de Drancourt has plenty to entertain the whole family. Situated in the leafy grounds of a chateau, and with three swimming pools and a sun terrace on-parc, this popular campsite from Keycamp offers the ideal setting to unwind. Meanwhile, tennis, football and volleyball facilities will be sure to keep the sportiest of families busy – and the kids will love the free on-parc kids club activities, catering from six months to 16 year olds.

When the sun goes down, families can while away the evenings at the on-parc gourmet restaurant and cosy lounge bar, or visit the nearby town of St Valery – which has an array of traditional French restaurants, shops and cafes to choose from.

A Seven night family holiday starting on 28 July 2012 at Chateau de Drancourt, staying in a two bedroom Villanova mobile home, sleeping up to four adults and two children, with decking will cost from £981 per party, accommodation only, including a discount of £280.
