Center Parcs Europe Les Ardennes, Vielsalm, Belgium

Located close to the borders of Germany and Luxembourg in the south-east of Belgium, Center Parcs Europe Les Ardennes suits families looking for either an activity and action-packed European family break or a relaxing self-catering holiday in the Belgian countryside.

A variety of activities are included in your holiday price, such as the tropical pool complex, visits to the on-site farm, and the art of enjoying the great outdoors with the kids. So if you are limited on budget, this is a great place to take the kids whilst being just less than 4-hours drive from Calais. But if it is more action you are looking for why not compete against the kids on a laser battle, explore the park on segway, get the kids on specially-designed quad bikes and if any of you have a head for heights, be sure to check out the treetop adventures.

Going back to budget, there are three types of cottages depending on how much you have to spend and facilities you require. Each option is cosy and filled with all the essentials, but if you are looking to splurge go for the VIP cottage which even includes a daily delivery of fresh bread to your door.
