We have a similar list, we are four adults and 1 child towing a caravan from Mid-Wales to Les 4 Vents (outside Paris). Prices based on 1.24€ to the £.

13 Nights pitch fees at Les 4 Vents = £490
3 Days at DLP = £94 (we had most tickets via Sky offer)
Eurotunnel = £11 (rest paid for with Tesco Vouchers)
Fuel (return) = £250
French Tolls (return) = £50
Trip up Montparnasse Tower in Paris = £21 (rest paid for with Tesco Clubcard)

We have also budgeted 120€ a day with the exception of travelling days when we have budgeted 62€ = £1261

On previous holidays to France we have averaged around 80€ a day, so allowing a bit extra because it's Paris (although we only plan to go to into Paris once). The three days we will spend at DLP will be fairly cheap as we always take our own food & drink, never buy anything there apart from the odd souvenir for the kids.

We also only plan to eat out one evening (on MIL's birthday), as we have already stocked up on all our meat etc; for the bbq.

A little off the topic, but we are going to DLP next and week. Is there anywhere to leave pushchairs whilst going on the rides.  My daughter is 3yrs and will get tired walking round all day, yet she can go on some of the family rides with us.

I shall look out for you, as we are there next week too (I fear it is going to be heaving by the looks of things as I know so many are going next week!). Yes, outside most rides are pushchair parks as they do not allow pushchairs in queues. You are quite right to take one for her as she will get worn out otherwise. Have a great time!

Thanks Jules1212, have a fab time and fingers crossed it isn't too busy and more importantly it stays dry

I'll be the one with a screaming 3yr old girl and a 5yrs boy who's favourite words are "I want that/this mummy" and "I don't want to do that"!

Hope you enjoy it fissha, lots for kids to do at le croix.

When we were there their bus was running Paris Mon and Fri for 20Euro and DLP on a Tuesday for 15Euro but I would imagine it running more often during peak times.

we've just come back cost £350.00 for mobile home type acommodation with eurocamp, we had free tickets from sky for dlp, had to pay for daughters ticket which we ordered before cost bout £45.00 didnt have pay for son as hes 2. And we spent about £650.00 for the whole week and to be honest that was budget and quite tight. But had amazing time and Id definitely go for more than 1 day, i love to actually stay there at dlp. I think 2-3 days would be perfect.

I'm 98% the answer is yes.. When we took our kids they were older so it wasn't something looked out for but I do remember seeing pushchairs left by rides. They also have a system where one adult can go on the ride, whilst the other looks after a young child, then they swap. Rather than having to line up twice.
