Luxury family adventure holidays where comfort and nature go hand in hand are what you can expect when your family are our guests at Country Kids in the South of France. Whether you’re splashing through puddles with toddlers or conquering trails with teens, we make it easy, joyful, and wonderfully stress-free.
Here, you’ll find that active breaks in the countryside are no longer about roughing it. These days, you can blend the call of the wild with creature comforts, and create unforgettable family moments that balance adventure with ease and relaxation.
There’s never been a better time to embrace the outdoors as a family. Especially when you don’t have to give up the luxury touches you love.
Why Are Biking and Hiking Perfect for Luxury Family Activity Holidays?
There’s something beautifully simple about a family hike or bike ride. No screens. No schedules. Just time together chatting, exploring, and discovering the natural world. These kinds of outdoor adventures are nourishing experiences that enable your whole family to reconnect. The exercise they provide is a useful by-product!
Kids build confidence, independence, and curiosity as they tackle new terrain and spot wildlife.
Parents get that rare blend of gentle movement and total mental switch-off.
At Country Kids, you can have all of this without sacrificing a hot shower, the delicious foods you love, or even a massage afterwards.
Little wonder so many families choose luxury family activity holidays that put hiking boots and bike helmets on the packing list.
Where Can Families Hike Together at Country Kids?
With 30 acres of private, car-free countryside, our guests don’t have to go far to find walking adventures. Trails start right from your doorstep, meandering through meadows, woodlands, and peaceful rural paths perfect for all ages and abilities.
Little legs will love our short nature trails, complete with insect spotting and wildflower collecting. Older kids and adults can venture further afield, tackling gentle loops with sweeping views of the southern French countryside.
Our on-site Crèche and Kids’ Club even include nature-based activities like forest mandalas and bug hunts, making hiking an exciting part of the daily routine.
And because our grounds are completely gated and vehicle-free, you can let the kids run ahead with complete peace of mind. It’s all part of what makes Country Kids the ideal choice for luxury family activity holidays.
How Can Families Enjoy Biking Adventures in the South of France?
The freedom of two wheels adds a whole new layer of fun to your holiday in southern France. From our peaceful hamlet, families can explore scenic routes to Lac du Salagou, glide through local vineyards, or cruise into neighbouring villages for a coffee and croissant (how very French!).
We provide child-friendly bikes, toddler seats, trailers, and even electric bikes for those who fancy a boost on the hills. Our personal concierge is on hand to plan your route, organise your equipment, and even pack your picnic.
Want something a bit more exhilarating? Our luxury family activity holidays include access to guided electric biking adventures off-site, offering safe, supported fun that gets the adrenaline going and the scenery flowing.
What Makes Country Kids the Perfect Base for Outdoor Family Fun?
We know that the best outdoor days begin and end in comfort, which is why our ‘Absolutely Everything Included’ experience means just that. You don’t have to plan, pack, or even think ahead. It’s all sorted.
The kids will start the day feeding the animals at our on-site petting farm, before they zip through the trees on our zip-lines, or climb, swing, and explore our treehouses and sandpits.
After your walk or ride, cool off in our swimming pool, complete with a thrilling waterslide and toddler-friendly splash zones.
And when the grown-ups need some downtime? Head to our adults-only zone with a private spa pool, sundeck, and the chance to relax while your little ones are still being entertained. It’s the perfect complement to the active side of your luxury family activity holidays.
What Should You Pack (or Not Pack) for a Biking and Hiking Holiday?
At Country Kids, we make it easy to travel light. Most of what you’ll need is already here.
We recommend packing:
- Comfortable walking shoes for everyone
- Sun hats and swimwear
- Water bottles (which we can refill and chill for you)
That’s it!
Our family corner is stocked with baby carriers, picnic rugs, children’s snacks, and anything else you might need. We even provide gourmet picnic baskets packed with goodies, so you’re always ready for a spontaneous lakeside lunch or woodland snack break during your luxury family activity holidays.
Why Are Nature Adventures So Valuable for Children?
Being in nature does something wonderful to kids. It fires their imagination, boosts their mood, and helps them grow in quiet, meaningful ways.
At Country Kids, we see it every day. From forest explorations and treasure hunts to art and crafts made with stones and leaves, our Kids’ Club makes the most of our setting. And because our experienced childcare team run these activities safely and independently, parents get to relax while the little ones learn, explore, and thrive – and, of course, make new friends.
Yes, outdoor adventures are a vital part of our approach to luxury family activity holidays. Not just because they’re fun, but because they genuinely help children flourish.
How Can You Make the Most of Your Country Kids Stay?
The beauty of a Country Kids holiday is that you can set your own pace. A perfect day might start with a morning hike and end with an afternoon by the pool and a BBQ under the stars.
Our team will help you build a timetable and rhythm that suits your family. Maybe you prefer active mornings and restful afternoons, or a mix of gentle outings and lazy lounging. With personalised itineraries crafted just for you, you’ll never feel rushed, or stuck for something to do.
That’s the beauty of luxury family activity holidays done right. Everything is possible, and nothing is pressured.
