This family's experience:

Activities: We went to Place de la Libération in Dijon with our 3 kids. We sat at a café (or on a bench) and let the children play! We took off their shoes and headed towards the fountains to splash around. They ran around, got soaked, and had a blast

Highlights: The kids absolutely loved the fountains! They ran from side to side and got completely wet! There were guaranteed bursts of laughter and the parents had some peace and quiet. The best part is that they eat well at noon and are tired in the afternoon, so a good nap! ✨
