    That's what I've heard as well - it's where the French tend to go, and the food is better.

    That said, if the kids want to see Buzz Lightyear, you aren't going to get that at Parc Asterix.

      We do annual passes if going for any length of time. You buy 1 posh pass for parking and discounts and cheap ones for everyone else. Paris-Billets Spectacles offer a decent discount off the normal price...

        If you do more than three days in Disney, it would be cheaper to buy a revolver with one bullet

          We always had the top passes for all of us, because we tended to go at times when the cheaper passes didn't work like Halloween etc. We'd take our campervan and camp there for free, but we let them lapse a couple of years back because we'd done everything so many times and there weren't enough new things coming.

            It will be 8 years since I last went, 3 years for the girls and 1 year for mrs eek (who is off there with the brownies for Whitsun ).

              We have a place in the Picardy region. about 1.5 hours north of Paris and only 2 hours from Calais so could get there easily enough and to Paris for a day trip. Lots of other great places around the area to visit like Chantilly and Sonlis. Château de Pierrefonds is the castle Merlin is filmed in. Very good for a visit also.

                Yep went there last year - looks impressive!!!!

                Also the Armistice Clearing is quite interesting.
