On the road with the kids: a family driving holiday in Spain and France
Can a long road trip work with children? I set out to relive a classic journey from Bilbao to Saint-Malo I did in my freewheeling 20s
TL;DR
- The author attempted to recreate a solo road trip from Bilbao to Saint-Malo with their two children.
- The journey involved a combination of home swaps and 'posh camping' accommodations.
- Stops included Bilbao, Berastegi, Pamplona, San Sebastián, Arcachon, Île de Noirmoutier, and Saint-Malo.
- Activities ranged from visiting museums and eating local food to climbing sand dunes and exploring coastal towns.
- The author found joy in their children's experiences, recognizing a different kind of adventure.
