We are a family of four who lived for a year in France. Photo by Jordan Whitt on Unsplash My youngest was 2 at the time and needed things to explore, play with, touch. There are so many great things for little kids to do in Bordeaux and surrounds. This is my guide of what to do with toddlers. Many of these are free or cheap activities. Parks/Playgrounds: Jardin Public - Playgrounds - See my post about the gardens Parc du Majolan - Playground - See my post about this beautiful park Parc Floral - Lovely park to walk in with international gardens - Great for picnics Parc de l'Ermitage - Hillside park with bike tracks Parc at Ecosite du Bourghail, Pessac - Forest park with heaps to explore, walks, look for the tiny trunk house Rives d'Arcins - Walks by the river - See my post  about the tiny owl house Photo by Maxime Bhm on Unsplash   Play parks (covered): Perfect on a wet day: ball pits, slides, climbing frames.
