Hi all, a party of 8 of us (4 adults and 4 children) will be travelling through Europe in December as my sister in law is coming over with her family from NZ and they would like to do a trip. I can obviously research online but wondered if anyone has any accomodation recommendations for the following legs (very happy with cheap and cheerful but must be clean and ideally a bit scenic/attactive):

  1. Somewhere within an hour of Calais ideally in the direction of Paris
  2. Somewhere in or on the outskirts of Paris
  3. Somewhere not far from Euro Disney Paris
  4. Somewhere in/near Bruge

Thanks!

I haven't any recommendations but 1,2 and 3 all sound very similar. You may want to look again at the plans ? In my view it's hard to find nice places near Paris (this was from 10 + years ago when we drove a lot for family holidays)

Personally I think Calais is a dump, better off staying 30 mins down the coast towards Le Touquet or Saint Omer. Just much nicer towns.

We stayed at the Adagio near Disney. One stop on the RER, so you don’t need to rely on the free shuttle buses. A pool in case you have too much Mickey and need to relax. Situated next to a massive mall with lots of restaurants. A kitchenette in the room so you can make your own food and breakfast. It was cheap and cheerful. Also fits your remit for Paris outskirts, as you can head in directly on the RER.

Near Calais, have a look at Boulogne or Wimereux. Both nicer than Calais.

I’d combine 2 and 3; stay on the eastern side of Paris and you can get the metro/RER to both Disneyland Paris and Paris itself. We had friends visit last year and they stayed at the Novotel Paris 20 (Belleville). Not the fanciest area, but was literally opposite the metro, down the road from another line, and had plenty of restaurants. It’s about 45 mins to Disney.

Alternately, other friends rented a lovely Air bnb just outside Paris, in Fontanay sur Bois. Only 25 mins to Disney, and the RER into Paris. They had a huge house with cinema room and loads of bedrooms; something like that would suit you.

For outside Calais, I’d stay at Le Touquet, it’s lovely. If I wanted to add another stop before Paris, Rouen is lovely.

Adagio Aparthotel in Ghent is opposite the train station and a short hop to Bruges (about 25 mins). Ghent has a Christmas market which is supposed to be worth a visit (hope so, as we're going there in December see it!).

2 and 3 might as well be the same location. We’ve stayed at the Adagio near Val d’Europe mentioned by a PP. Perfect for DLP and easy to get the RER to central Paris. On a recent trip we booked an apartment through Vrbo close to it which was bigger although didn’t have pool access. Very easy to self cater and plenty of family friendly restaurants in Val d’Europe mall.

We stayed at Centre Parcs De Haan last December which was on the coast and really close to Bruges. There was a direct bus that picked up by the entrance straight to the centre of Bruges or you can tram and train instead.

I am just back from Disneyland Paris (it's not been called EuroDisney for a very long time).
We stayed at Villages Natures which is a center parcs extremely close by. It wasn't amazing but it is easy to get to DLP and reasonably easy to get to Paris too. Is def family friendly. I have mixed thoughts about it - the staff were generally surly and unhelpful but the pool was really good and a massive hit with my kids.
