Programme, activities and the local area

Action and adventure are the name of the game on a family holiday at the Grand' Ferme. Climbing, archery and bike tours may keep you busy on day one but there's a huge variety of other activities to keep you entertained across your stay. Every week there's a walk to Mont St. Michel offering amazing views across the sand at low tide and experience quick sand. The farm itself is extensive with grounds to explore, heated outdoor swimming pool, sand volley ball court, petanque court and astro turf.

As parents however, the idea of a Family Adventure Holiday is to give you some time to yourselves should you want it,  while we keep the children busy.  What you do with your time is up to you, but there's many excursions with an adult focus in the local area, you may prefer to kick back with a book or get hands on with the kids canoeing.

With all the energy used up across the day everyone looks forward to a delicious and hearty evening meal, and this is traditionally followed by some less physical but equally fun activities organised by the animateurs.

To get a real sense of what you can expect for you and your family take a look at some past programmes below.
