Photo Scavenger Hunt for Kids

Forget museum quizzes, treasure hunts and audio guides – why not try something completely different? If you have slightly reluctant travellers who are dragging their feet as you visit yet another chateau, museum or prehistoric cave, why not present them with a photo scavenger hunt! Make them the master of their own experience.

On a recent trip to a museum, Mr 9 was decidedly unimpressed when I presented him with a fun little quiz I’d picked up at the visitor desk and he made it very clear that he was not interested in filling in said quiz… …

Discover Perpignan and Collioure – 48 hours in the Med

Collioure

Perfect Winter Escape

It’s that time of year again – January – time for our week-end escape from the dreary, cold and rainy weather. We decided we were going to explore the Mediterranean town of Perpignan and nearby Collioure. My husband found a great aparthotel in Perpignan, situated only 4 hours away from our home in the Dordogne. It was right next to the train station, the place that Dali believed was the centre of the universe! Read more about his revelation here.

Centre of the Universe according to Dali!

The aparthotel was great value at €65 per night for 4 of us – it was really spacious and provided a secure underground car park. Its location would make it a great base for anyone arriving in Perpignan by train. ALSO, we discovered that there is a fast train (TGV) that departs from there and will get you to Barcelona in 1hr 20 minutes. What a fantastic day trip that would be!…
