French holidays have been off the menu for much of the summer, but with the scrapping of the amber watchlist and confirmation from the French Government that the NHS Covid Pass will be accepted for entry to restaurants, cafes and supermarkets, families have a last chance to spend summer across 'La mer'.
France has seen record numbers of staycation bookings this summer, so holiday park specialist Siblu has picked out five outstanding family resorts where there is still availability for holidays in the last full week of August.
Domaine de Litteau, Normandy
Set in the heart of Normandy's countryside, Domaine de Litteau and has heaps to entertain the kids, including a fishing lake, covered pool complex and an outdoor play area with BMX tracks, climbing ropes and a zip wire. This is a great base for visiting sites across Normandy, including great beaches and historic Bayeux, and Cherbourg, home of the staggering Cite de la Mer, where you'll find a three-level aquarium, nuclear submarine and a Titanic exhibition.

Notes to editors: COVID testing requirements for France
France requires all adults travelling from the UK to be fully vaccinated, and children up to the age of 17 are exempt. Adults must complete a 'déclaration sur l'honneur' form self-certifying they are not suffering from symptoms associated with coronavirus, and they must provide proof of their vaccination status.
France is on the UK's amber list, so travellers coming back to the UK must complete a negative lateral flow test no more than three days before they return, followed by a PCR test no later than day 2 of their arrival in the UK.
