(7-minute read)
French traditions are a symphony of food, family, and festivity, making all-inclusive holidays to France the perfect way to give your family a real taste of France. Among our many cherished customs, crêpes hold a special place. Think France, think crêpes! Indeed, whether enjoyed during annual festivals like La Chandeleur (France’s ‘Pancake Day’) or at casual family gatherings, crêpes embody the warmth and flavour of French culture.
Is there a better region to sit down to a plate of crêpes than Occitanie? Here, charming villages, rolling vineyards, and sun-drenched landscapes are the perfect backdrop for your family to bind over age-old traditions. And if you’re seeking a combination of adventure and relaxation, Country Kids is the place to be.
Let’s get stuck into the irresistible charm of crêpes, the magic of Occitanie, and why all-inclusive holidays to France are the perfect choice for creating lasting holiday memories together.
Why are french crêpes a must-try for families?
Crêpes are more than the quintessential French dish. They are a tradition that goes back centuries.
These delicate, golden pancakes are the backbone of family gatherings and French festivals. La Chandeleur (Candlemas) is celebrated across France, with families gathering to make and share crêpes together – an unforgettable experience on any multi-generational holiday.
For a family visiting Occitanie, authentic crêpes await around every corner – in restaurants, cafes, and at bustling farmers’ markets, where fresh artisan treats are served with a side of local charm.
Here at Country Kids, our guests can enjoy crêpes crafted with a huge spoonful of French hospitality. There’s something uniquely joyful about flipping your own crêpes with your little ones. It’s a tradition they may take home with them, echoing the French ‘joie de vivre’ in your own kitchen.
What makes Occitanie perfect for family celebrations?
Where do we start?
How about the abundance of charming villages waiting to be explored? You’ll find it’s like stepping into a fairytale. Cobblestone streets, historic squares, and artisanal shops invite adults and children alike to wander on a journey of discovery.
Towns like Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert are perfect for leisurely strolls and scenic photo opportunities, adding a touch of magic to all-inclusive holidays to France.
We mustn’t forget to mention the region’s natural beauty, and its bountiful opportunities for adventure. Country Kids is ideally located for you to pack a picnic and head to Lake Salagou, where calm waters reflect the surrounding hills. Here, you can try paddleboarding or kayaking in complete safety. If water sports aren’t your thing, perhaps you’d prefer to hop on a bike and meander through the countryside – a great way to soak in the sights while keeping active.
There are many festivals and events here, too. Hardly a day goes by without a new reason to celebrate life! During summer, food festivals showcase regional delights, including the beloved crêpe. Village fêtes bring music, dancing and games, making them a highlight during activity holidays for families, and the perfect chance to taste the local cuisine and experience the region’s unique culture while creating treasured memories.
