Finally, here are a few family holiday suggestions "on the continent" (and not the North American one):

• Eurocamp: a deluxe "camping village" can be nearly as good as a resort, with bungalow accommodation, swimming pools, slides, kids' programs, and dozens of activities
• Center Parcs "holiday villages" have a terrific signature feature, a tropical domes area with pool and waterpark features
• Paris Sightseeing with Kids: Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and its Gargoyles, Rodin Sculpture Garden (free or nominal charge), The Louvre (free for kids)...
• hill towns in Italy: lovely to visit with budding medievalists, knights-in-training, and ladies fayre
