A week with grandparents for the Easter holidays

For a cultural break, the medieval town of Guérande is ideal. Children love wandering through the cobbled streets, climbing the ramparts and imagining what life was like in the Middle Ages.

Guided tours for all ages reveal the town’s history and secrets. From the Porte Saint-Michel to the towers and ancient facades, young and old alike can explore at their own pace.

Shops and cafés offer a convivial break, while the architecture and historical anecdotes captivate the whole family. This day combines discovery, fun learning and a pleasant stroll, perfect for arousing the curiosity of the youngest while offering grandparents a charming setting rich in history.

The salt marshes of Guérande and Batz-sur-Mer offer a fun and educationalexperience.

Accompanied by a guide, young and old alike can discover salt, how it is harvested and the unique ecosystem of this Natura 2000 site. It’s also an ideal place for birdwatching and understanding the importance of preserving these natural areas.

The Salt Marsh Museum completes the visit with interactive and educational materials. This day out combines walking, playing and learning, in an open and easily accessible setting. Grandparents can enjoy the tranquillity and beauty of the landscape, while children can run around and explore freely, all the while having fun.

The Océarium du Croisic offers a fascinating dive into the world’s oceans.

Explore the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Mediterranean oceans and see over 4,000 specimens evolve before your very eyes, from the tiniest fish to impressive sharks, jellyfish and turtles. Daily activities punctuate the visit: penguin feeding, shark or turtle presentations, captivating young and old alike.

After this marine immersion, enjoy a walk along the coastal paths to breathe in the iodised air and observe the coastline. Between watching the waves, walking on the beaches and enjoying the panoramic views over the ocean, this day combines discovery, wonder and moments of complicity with your grandchildren, in a natural, unspoilt setting.

The Brière Regional Nature Park lends itself perfectly to a family nature day out. To explore its peaceful canals, you can embark on a traditional barge with a guide, ideal for observing the local flora and fauna while listening to anecdotes about life in the marshes. Children will love watching the birds and animals, such as the many coypu.

If you prefer to stay on dry land, take a horse-drawn carriage ride along the canal paths and discover the park in an original and accessible way. The village of Kerhinet in Saint-Lyphard is a great place to immerse yourself in Brie culture, with its traditional thatched cottages, local crafts and local produce.

This day out combines nature, heritage and conviviality, perfect for sharing anecdotes, photos and memories with your grandchildren.

Even in April, the beach is still the perfect playground.

From La Baule to Pénestin, young and old alike can indulge in sandcastles, sand walks or shell hunting.

The coastal scenery is spectacular: dunes, waves and soft light. Children love to run, play and explore, while grandparents enjoy the sea air.

This simple day in the fresh air brings the week to a close on a light and active note, with moments of complicity and memories to share.
