Here are a few ideas of what to do and where to go to make the most of your money-saving trip...

PARIS: THE CITY OF LIGHT

Discover the full magic of France with a visit to its beautiful capital city. Paris is teeming with cultural attractions, from the NotreDame to the Louvre, for the whole family to enjoy. During your visit, you can sample delicious Parisian patisseries, splurge in the shops on Avenue des Champs-élysées and snap selfies outside famous landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe.

PARC ASTÉRIX THEME PARK

For thrill seekers, Parc Astérix is a must-do. Stop off at this exhilarating theme park, just 45 minutes north of Paris, and get your adrenaline pumping on any one of their 42 attractions. Guests journey through the park’s six immersive lands, inspired by the famous René Goscinny comic strips, including Gaul, the Roman Empire and the Vikings. From gentle rides and 4D cinema shows for younger guests to Goudurix, the park’s hair-raising seven-looping roller coaster, there’s something here for everyone.

THE SOMME BAY

The Somme Bay is one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Lose yourself in the natural beauty of this peaceful destination with a choice of family activities, including cycling, walking trails and beach days. You can also explore the area’s magnificent wildlife as the bay is a common stopover site for migratory birds, as well as home to harbour seals, salt-meadow sheep, wigeon, shelducks, curlews and oyster catchers.
