A couple of years ago, MN helped me plan the most fantastic family holiday, it was Germany in December. Not too expensive, but some very memorable experiences like a caste hotel stay. We all refer to it as the best holiday ever.
So now I’m looking for suggestions again. We’re saving for our next one, the ‘children’ are now young adults and we’ll probably include their boyfriends in this trip, so 6 adults in total. September 2026. I’m thinking a barge on the Loire river for 4/5 days with bicycles for day trips. Followed by 4 or so days somewhere in rural France? But then I’d also really like to see Budapest? After this time together my DH and I will probably have another week or so in Europe to do something without the expensive youths. We’re coming from Australia, so it’s a big expense, but it’s for a special birthday, and we really value these times together! Any European suggestions for the group size happily received! Thank you
