Getting to St Malo from the UK by ferry
Taking the ferry from the UK to St Malo is a really straightforward option for families who don’t want the hassle or cost of flying with little ones. From southern ports like Poole, the crossing usually takes around 6 hours but the ferries are very comfortable and it’s more relaxing than a long drive or taking a flight. You can bring the car, avoid luggage limits and settle in onboard with food, seating areas and space for the kids to move around.

If you sail from Portsmouth, the journey is longer at around 10 to 11 hours, but this is typically an overnight crossing, which many families actually prefer. Booking a cabin means the kids can sleep through most of the journey and you arrive in France refreshed and ready to start your holiday. Arriving into Saint-Malo is easy, and within a short drive you can be at beaches, campsites and family-friendly resorts across Brittany. The Direct Ferries website is the best place to compare deals, providers and crossing times.
Which is best for a family holiday – Brittany, Normandy or Picardy?
If you’re choosing between Brittany, Normandy or Picardy for a family trip, it really comes down to what kind of holiday you want and how far you’re happy to travel. Brittany is brilliant if you love beaches, islands, great campsites and that classic French holiday feel, especially for Eurocamp-style stays. Normandy and Picardy are perfect for mixing beaches with history, pretty towns and easy day trips – both work well for shorter breaks or first trips to France. All three destinations are easy to reach from the UK for hassle-free family holidays.

Is Northern France worth a visit?
Northern France is absolutely worth a visit, especially for families looking for an easy, good-value break that still feels like a proper holiday. With short ferry crossings and minimal travel it’s ideal if you’re travelling with kids. You get beautiful beaches, pretty harbour towns, fabulous resorts and loads of family-friendly attractions – all without the long drive further south.
