Not yet booked an Easter holiday? Family friendly travel company Tots to Travel (www.totstotravel.co.uk) still has several properties in the Dordogne region of France available over the Easter break that are close to fabulous Easter egg hunts.
Monpazier, a beautiful bastide village in the Dordogne, hides hundreds of coloured boiled eggs all around the centre of the village on Easter Sunday (4 April). Children collect as many as they can before exchanging them for prizes. This ‘Chasse des oeufs’ takes place between 3pm and 5pm and is entirely free.
Similarly, in the stunning grounds of the Overhanging Gardens of Marqueyssac near Roque Gageac in the Dordogne Valley, children are invited to hunt for eggs on 4 and 5 April. Workshops will also be held for decorating eggs, making hens from egg cartons and crafting wooden eggs with the wood turner. Booking is essential due to its popularity.
Suitable properties to reach these Easter eggs hunts are:
