Family Friendly Burgundy

For those who think that children would be bored in Burgundy: you’re wrong ! Since 2002, our region has actually developed a concept especially designed for families, called « Aventures Mômes en Bourgogne du Sud » (Children adventures in Southern Burgundy). All tourist attractions and places of interest who participate in this offer propose visits or activities especially for children. This makes a lot of places to visit very attractive for families, knowing up front that your children will also enjoy themselves!
Here’s a few participating tourist attractions / places of interest near to our three campsites.
