Discover the Magic of Rural Holidays
(12-minute read)
Have you ever dreamed of swapping the urban hustle for family adventures in the tranquil charm of the countryside? There’s something truly magical about rural holidays, especially when they involve the whole family. The joy of family adventures in Southern France is unmatched. Here you’ll find an idyllic setting where time slows down. The best part? The slower pace allows you to savour each moment together.
The Benefits of Unplugging and Reconnecting with Nature
We understand just how hectic the corporate world can get. Never a minute to call your own, with an endless barrage of emails and notifications to attend to. The commute is wasted time, not to mention stressful. Swap this for the screen-free family adventures of a countryside holiday – the perfect opportunity to unplug and jump into family adventures that help you disconnect from the rigours of modern daily life.
Imagine your children away from their screens and breathing in the natural world around them. Let the profound peace that you’ll experience as you walk through verdant fields surround you – rustling leaves, tweeting birds, and your own footsteps are the only noise pollution in the fresh air of this corner of Occitanie.
You’ll feel reconnected with nature, and your spirits will soon be rejuvenated.
Fostering Creativity and Imagination in a Rural Setting
The best family adventures are those that allow your children’s imagination to run as free as the wind. The countryside that surrounds Country Kids is a blank canvas for you and your children to create untold stories – space to dream, create, and explore without boundaries.
Whether it’s building dens in the woods, painting the landscape, or simply making up stories as they wander, the rural setting fosters a level of creativity unattainable in the concrete jungle. The lack of urban distractions is perfect to encourage unadulterated imaginative play, which is essential for their development.
The Joy of Slower, Stress-Free Days with Your Little Ones
When you hear the phrase ‘family adventures’, don’t be fooled into thinking that they can only be created at 100 miles per hour. The real secret is to eliminate the stress so that you can fully experience each activity.
The Country Kids resort is set amidst rolling hills and lush meadows. Stunning landscapes invite you to explore this haven of wildlife, and bring you up close and personal with nature as never before.
There’s no rushing from one activity to another, just the gentle flow of a day dictated by the sun. Enjoy leisurely breakfasts on the terrace, spend afternoons by the pool, and take evening strolls under the stars. These stress-free days are perfect for bonding, providing ample quality time to really connect with your children away from the usual daily grind.
Accommodation That Feels Like Home: Comfort and Charm Combined
At the end of each day of family adventures, you’ll hanker for a few home comforts, and the Country Kids’ accommodation doesn’t disappoint. Each is thoughtfully designed to provide spacious rooms with cosy interiors, and private outside terraces on which you can enjoy the tranquillity over a morning coffee or a pre-bedtime nightcap.
Our Friendly Staff: Dedicated to Making Your Stay Unforgettable
When we took the reins here, we wanted to create something special – a place where you feel valued as well as relaxed. Our welcome extends beyond our accommodation. We pride ourselves on the warmth and knowledge of our staff who are always ready to help.

Fun for the Little Ones: Activities and Adventures
The little ones will never run out of things to do here at Country Kids. Here’s a flavour of what they’ll be up to during your stay with us:
· Animal Encounters: Up Close with Farm Friends
No family adventure is complete without animal encounters. Our petting farm is a firm favourite with kids of all ages. Your children can meet and interact with a variety of friendly animals, from fluffy rabbits to donkeys, chickens, and Apache, our family horse.
Beyond the fun, our petting farm offers educational opportunities. Kids can learn about the different animals, their habits, and how to care for them. This hands-on experience is both informative and enjoyable, fostering a love for animals and nature.
You’ll find that with each encounter, your children will learn a little more about the cycle of life as well as empathy and responsibility.
· Splashing Good Times: Our Family-Friendly Swimming Pool
Kids love our swimming pool, and our skilled instructors can ensure that each child leaves a more proficient swimmer than when they arrived. But, of course, the swimming pool isn’t all work and no play. From water polo to fun floaties, there’s no shortage of entertainment around the pool. And we’ll keep your kids amused with a variety of water games. It’s a perfect place to cool off, have some splashtastic fun, and gain confidence in their own water skills.
· Hands-On Learning: Exciting Workshops for Kids
Our art and craft workshops are designed to inspire and engage. Children can explore various mediums, from painting to sculpting, under the guidance of our talented staff. These classes are a fantastic way to nurture creativity and artistic expression.
We also take advantage of nature’s palette. Kids can collect leaves, flowers, and other natural materials to piece together and create unique pieces of art that connect them even more deeply to the nature that surrounds us all.
· Little Chefs in the Making: Interactive Cooking Classes
You can’t enjoy family adventures on an empty stomach, can you? Maybe your child is already a budding chef. Perhaps they have a flair for cooking that hasn’t yet surfaced. Is there a better place than the South of France to discover a culinary talent for the creation of Occitanie foods you’ll love?
Our cookery workshops let your kids roll up their sleeves and get hands-on experience in the kitchen. What will they create for you? Sumptuous cookies? A mouth-watering pizza?
You may be surprised what your little ones deliver during these fun and educational holiday moments. Not only will your children learn a few cooking techniques, but they will also gain a greater understanding of where food comes from. Our farm-to-table approach is replicated in the culinary workshops that are founded on the edicts of healthy eating and sustainability.
· Nature Play: Exploring the Great Outdoors Safely
Safety is our priority, and our nature play areas are designed with this in mind. Ours is a 30-acre gated community, in which your kids can explore and play in the great outdoors, experiencing the wonders of nature-oriented family activities in a safe environment.
· Creating Cherished Memories: Photo Ops with Furry Friends
What better way to remember your family adventures than with a photo? Our farm, resort, and grounds are full of picturesque spots perfect for capturing special moments. Each photo will surely become a treasured keepsake, a reminder of a joyous time spent together.
· Cycling and Hiking: Exploring the Scenic Countryside
For the more adventurous, there are some amazing cycling and hiking excursions for all abilities. Explore the stunning countryside on two wheels or by foot, discovering hidden trails and breathtaking views.
· Cultural Excursions: Day Trips to Nearby Villages
