As the excitement ahead of this year's major European football championships becomes increasingly more palpable, Pierre & Vacances announces its fun new way for holidaymakers to kick off the football festivities in France. Just as France will host the European championships this summer, nine of Pierre & Vacances' French Holiday Villages will host their very own warm-up celebrations in the build up to the matches as well as afterwards.
From 10th June to 10th July, football fanatic guests can immerse themselves in absolute football frenzy. They can show off their knowledge in a puzzling football quiz before identifying the correct national anthem in an entertaining test around the pool area. Before the matches kick off, guests can compete in a spot of football juggling followed by an exhilarating life-size game of human table football and 'keepy-uppy' challenges. At a face paint workshop fans can be decorated with their national colours to show their true devotion and support for their team, before sitting down to watch the match with other holidaymakers.
These activities are all free of charge and are in addition to the sports and activities available in Pierre & Vacances' Kids Clubs which provide entertainment for children aged 3 to 17 years old. All activities are adapted to suit the children's ages, so while kids aged 3-12 enjoy DJ lessons, circus skills, secret agent skills and a variety of sports, teenagers aged 13-17 can hang out in Le SpOt where they can watch films and dance away at the disco. The tiniest tots aged 3 months to 3 years can be supervised by Pierre & Vacances' professional childcare team who will keep them entertained with painting, playing games, music and story telling.
Many of Pierre & Vacances' resorts are located near to the main stadia and fan-zones. Families, couples or groups of friends staying with Pierre & Vacances will be able to watch the matches, explore the host cities and surrounding area in addition to enjoying the facilities and activities at the holiday villages, making for a jam-packed football-themed getaway.
