If you're looking to entertain the kids in France, look no further than Jeux vid›eo to keep them busy on a rainy holiday weekend. Even though the language on the box may be in French, it's possible for kids to play for hours for a game that has the same basic format as its English equivalent.

Whether you're an action adventure fan or prefer the thrills and spills of the Formula One track, there's bound to be a game that will suit all age groups. Just the thing for an after dinner get together or a mid morning break before lunch.

If you're stuck for where to get hold of a video game or two, why not try a French hypermarket or supermarket and see how you get on. If you can't find the games section, why not try out your French on one of the store assistants who should be happy to point out the video games section if you ask for Jeux video.

If your stay in France is more permanent and your children are keen to make friends with the locals, why not overcome the language barrier and invite the kids over to play together. Video games are a quick way to bridge differences and your children will soon be having so much fun they'll forget about any language insecurities they may have.

Bringing your kids together with the children from another family can also have benefits for adults. After all, it's easier to get to know the locals if your kids are already having fun together. You could even invite them over for a meal or drinks while the kids play. So, if you're stuck for an activity, why not give Jeux video a go?
