Parc Asterix

Wow – just when I needed to find out about Gîtes, here’s a great blog post all about them!

The one main disadvantage is that often (and definitely in high season) you need to stay for a week (also usually from Saturday to Saturday).

This post has a really great collection of ideas to do with kids – no matter if you are homeschooling or not! Some great ideas for books to read as well.

The only problem with this post is that I suffer from a massive anxiety attack reading it, known as “guilt induced homeschooling inadequacy”. I read that they are doing things like making notebooking pages and putting stamps in their passports and I think “that’s so cool! We should be doing that! Why aren’t we doing that?” And then I remember that the reason we aren’t doing that, is because I’m too busy actually planning a real trip to France where they will have to use their real passports and visit the actual Eiffel tower. Guilt semi-purged.

Still – anytime this life time, I should really put together a list of the books we have read (and *ahem* DVDs we have watched) in preparation for the trip. Just don’t hold your breath… I still have to book our accommodation in France first!

Isn’t that a fantastic word? Right up there with Autumnal. Now wonder the French are so proud of their language. And that just looks so delicious and so divine. YUM.

This site is called “Theme Park Insider”. As well as general information about the Park, it has reader tips, hotel reviews and ride ratings. It’s a great resource for planning a trip to a theme park.

Sadly, other parks in Paris are not covered or any of the other parks in France

They do have a few other European parks – including the all important Legoland Windsor!!! YAY.

I was pleasantly surprised when visiting the official site for the Eiffel Tower today to see how much information they have for kids. 

There is games mini site, Hector at the Eiffel Tower.

There is an activity book that you can preview before collecting in situ.

There are copious notes for Teachers with loads of information. Very nicely presented I might add. We could do a whole unit study on the Eiffel Tower!

You can take virtual tours of the Eiffel tower and should you be lucky enough to be in Paris for Christmas and the New Year, you can see wonderful ice sculptures on the first level.
