There are some great places in Picardie, a very historical part of France.

You must go to visit "le chateau de Chantilly",  one of the most famous and beautiful castle in France.

Answer 3

Well there's the beach a little farther north.  There is a waterpark that's fun for children in Le Touquet which is a seaside resort (website below).   And then there's Disneyland Paris if that interests you.

Answer 4

I suggest that you nip into WHSmith and buy a copy of the Michelin Green Guide to Northern France and the Paris region. It will give you all the information you need about the area.
