Activities 7 Min Read Dordogne France Europe If you’re looking for a less familiar area to explore in France beyond the big-name destinations like Paris, Provence and the French Riviera, the Dordogne region is a blast for kids of all ages. One of the reasons I like it so much for families is that the list of things to do in the Dordogne is so varied within a small geographic area.

Camogli is a charming seaside village located in the Liguria region of northwestern Italy, along the Italian Riviera. We love it for its picturesque harbor, colorful houses, and rich maritime history, as well as beaches families can more easily enjoy while avoiding the crowds. If you’ve been to the Italian Riviera between June and August, specifically to the towns of the Cinque Terre located south of Camogli, crowded beaches and packed streets may be familiar.
