Traveling with a baby? French families are keeping summer flights short, says KAYAK

LONDON, July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Traveling with a baby changes how families choose a holiday. According to new KAYAK search data, French parents planning summer 2026 trips with a child under two are largely opting for sun, sea and shorter journeys, with most of the top-searched destinations within about three hours of France.

Mediterranean destinations dominate the ranking, with Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Tunisia all featuring strongly. The appeal is clear: shorter flight times, mild weather and easy-to-navigate cities can make traveling with a baby feel far more manageable.
