France
Sand, rocks and trees - what more could you need? The forest of Fontainbleau provides low rock climbing for adults and children, sand for babies and toddlers, shade and sun for all, and a peaceful environ. In autumn an excellent spot for mushroom picking.
Fly to Paris Charles de Gaulle airport and hire a car. The town of Fontainbleau is south of Paris, allowing day trips to Paris on rainy days.
