...Hello there - I'm Jenny's bloggy friend!<br /><br />I think that it would be a good idea to find out about the Youth Hostels in Paris - if you can get a family room in one it would be a cheap way to stay there. There are also VERY cheap, basic motels in France - not lovely but affordable. They are situated near airports and on motorways and, at least compared the the UK, are very low cost.<br /><br />I will try to speak to my friend who used to live in Paris for more ideas.<br /><br />If you are going to be travelling round in our winter you will find it much cheaper than in summer time, so long as you don't head too near the ski resorts. The 'Gites de France' website is partly available in English and covers many self-catering cottages and appartments. Off season, there may be some good deals in Provence, for example.<br /><br />Unfortuntely, we camp and stay quite near home, for cost reasons, so I can't tell you much about wider travelling in France. I could help you out with the concepts and vocabulary of French tourism more than I can with actual details, I'm afraid.<br /><br />I have been to Biarritz - lovely but expensive. The aquarium there is good for children. It's often cheaper to stay in the attractive fishing town of St Jean de Luz, a bit further south.<br /><br />Do email me if you have questions, and I'll try to find out more about staying cheaply in the places you've mentioned.Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24178923.post-80239625734258420102009-11-18T11:18:14.631+08:002009-11-18T11:18:14.631+08:00I have a bloggy friend who is British but lives in...I have a bloggy friend who is British but lives in France. She lives near Toulouse.She has 10 and 12 year old sons so she should know something about things to do with children in France.
