Center Parcs - information needed

[Torontogal]

Hello everyone!
Our family will be visiting both London and Paris this summer and feeling a little overwhelmed with the planning. First trip to Europe and so much to learn. We are looking for reasonable priced/family type accomodations in Paris and found out about the center parcs resorts. I was wondering if anyone has ever stayed in the ones in France and your thoughts. We are travelling with 2 boys under 10 and want to keep the trip fun for them. Being from North America - we are used to spacious rooms which the Center Parcs seem to offer. Also, very excited to see London..seems like an incredible city and amazed by the Underground system!!
Would love your thoughts...thanks!

I've been to two of their locations in Holland and loved them. Lovely surroundings and good swimming centres included in the price. Be aware that nearly all the other activities need to be paid for. Our accommodation was of a good standard although the Dutch kitchens don't have conventional ovens - just a hob and a microwave. We also had a misunderstanding on our first trip where we hadn't been provided with sheets but it was soon sorted out. The villas in France look a lot newer.

I'm assuming you'll have a car as by their very nature Center Parcs villages are often a little out of the way.

Me and my family have been to Whinfell Forest Centreparc in Cumbria it was brilliant, loads of things to do and the accomodation was superb. Have you been there?
