Really relaxing family holiday in the forest. We are a family of three and travelled to Sarrebourg (closest train station) with Interrail tickets for the May half term. With travel and accommodation in a VIP Renewed Cottage for 7 nights, this still worked out nearly £1000 cheaper than staying in the UK’s Elveden Forest, not far from us. If you’re coming by train, I highly recommend booking transfers with the local Taxi Phoenix Sarrebourg who regularly pick up / drop off at Center Parcs and speak English. It should cost between €40-50 to get to the closest train station from Les Trois Forêts. Our accommodation was clean enough and looked as detailed in the photos. The sofa was very small and beds / pillows were very uncomfortable. I’d recommend bringing your own pillows if you’re travelling by car! The lodges were very private. If we were to go back I’d opt for staying in an Exclusive cottage as I think these come with air conditioning and some other luxuries. The welcome packs leave a lot to be desired - just some basics for washing up! We arrived quite late - about 8pm and the cycle / buggy centre was closed, which meant a LONG walk to our lodge from where our Uber driver dropped us off. The Taxi Phoenix company pick up and drop you off at your lodge, so worth booking in advance. The next day we swapped our bike reservations for a golf buggy and zipping around the park by buggy was really fun - although it’s expensive I’d highly recommend it. We had pre-booked activities for every day apart from Wednesday, when we did a day trip to Colmar by train. The activities were good - the archery and bowling were our favourites. We’ve done Go Ape lots of times back home so booked the high rope course - both the blue and red trails. We didn’t end up doing the red trail in the end as we were exhausted from the blue course, which is pretty intense. Lots of kids were on it and crying / struggling and I must admit at certain points I was a bit scared! Not due to the safety, just the difficulty of each obstacle. I imagine it would be quite tough for those who haven’t done that before. We also did Family Lazer Battle in Ze Place, which has a cool arcade area our 9 year old loved. The farm is cute too. We ate in the crêperie and Le Marché- both were fine but expensive for what they were. Mostly we cooked / ate in the cottage. Fresh baguettes every day from the supermarket were a plus! Aqua Mondo was great - water was lovely and warm. It did get very busy but still enjoyable. I went to the spa alone as despite it being advertised as having certain time slots available for families, I couldn’t find out how to book that. The spa was very nice and like the ones in the UK. Access to the spa alone is through Aqua Mondo though, which was a bit confusing! The real beauty of our break was in exploring the forest and having time to relax together. I speak a little French and it was great to get the opportunity to practice, although most staff members speak E
