Family trip winter 2009
"Very enjoyable week, loved the personal touch and opened our eyes to other winter activities besides downhill skiing!!" - Donal
"Fantastic holiday for family. France Outdoors took care of everything down to packed lunches on arrival/departure, stop overs while driving for kids and all the details. Great guide for snowshoeing, dogsledding and of course, Florence from France Outdoors who was so good with Roisin and kids during parents time out! Variety of activities suited our family as Boys opted for cross country skiing and Girls loved downhill skiing." - Sheila
"I though that the astronomy was fantastic! Seing Saturn was amazing...
The dog sledding was my favorite thing to do, the man was nice letting me drive the sled, it made me feel trustworthy.
The snowshoeing was great, I wasn't tired at all (I was walking on the front sometimes) usually I'd be slacking behind my family but it was the other way around!
France Outdoors is going to be a holiday I'll never forget and I'd vote it 99 999 / 99 999!" - Cillian, 9 years old
"I loved the downhill skiing. The husky riding was very good...
We went sledging, mom and dad bought sledges for our sand doons in Kerry.
Seeing Saturn was amazing." - Niamh, 7 years old

"Thank you for a fantastic holiday. You have been so attentive and the personal touch was much appreciated. The afternoon without the children was also very valuable and very thoughtful. You were so patient with the children and made a holiday they will never forget. Many, many thanks.
You are unique in offering a holiday with both physical and intellectual content. Also unique was the contact with real French local people."
- Tom, Angela and the kids from Dublin, Winter 2009.
Family trip summer 2008
"The Hautes Alpes region has everything to offer for families - lots of activities for all ages, water sports, spectacular hill walking, rock climbing and white water rafting. This area is very popular with French families and we could see why, and remains to be discovered by the Irish families, best of all no Kerry or county colours to remind you of the progression of your team back home!"
- The O’Malley family from Galway, summer 2008
Family trip summer 2008
"Hiking in the Alps with two kids under the age of 7 is not something that you would imagine as a relaxing summer holiday. However, it was exactly that, what an incredible experience! With the diverse itineraries proposed by Vincent and Florence from France Outdoors, we felt in safe hands and discovered a France that we didn't realise existed. Far from the chaos of the overcrowded coast, the calm of the mountains was just what we needed for a family holiday."
- Stuart, Delphine and the kids from Sligo, Summer 2008
