Summer holidays 2025: what help help do you have the right?

Accessible holiday, even with a limited budget

Summer returns every year with its career procession, melting of the ice and desires elsewhere.

But for many families, leave remains a luxury. In 2023, one in three children did not go on vacation. Faced with this observation, the state renewed a series of devices in 2025 to open the doors of escape to the most modest families. Empty controls, free -time help or support for family projects: concrete levers are activated to make the beginning possible.

Employment control, an extensive solution

Holiday control, coordinated by the National Agency for Novances (ANCV), remains the top tool for this policy. Distributed in resources conditions, it allows you to finance transport, accommodation, restaurants, free time or even cultural visits.

In 2025, over 4.5 million beneficiaries benefit from it, directly through their employer or as part of the ANCV solidarity devices. These checks are accepted in over 200,000 seats in France, also for approved Airbnb rentals.

In addition to the simple financial thrust, the ANCV also supports the projects built by the families themselves. The helper of the AIDS program at AIDS Holiday allows families in a precarious situation to create a personalized stay, supervised by a social worker or a partner association. It is not only a question of leaving, but of conceiving a rest time that makes sense – in relation to the needs of the house, to the desires of children, the logistical constraints.

Every year, almost 100,000 people start with the support of the APV. Aid can cover up to 70 % of the cost of the stay, provided that it does not exceed a certain ceiling. The destinations are free, as long as they remain in France.

Help caf for free time

On the side of the Family Tendence Fund (CAF), several levers allow you to drastically reduce the cost of the holidays. These aid, often neglected or considered too complex, are however a real trampoline for summer departures.

Between them, Holidays in family holidays (AVF) It aims to allow beneficiary families, subject to resources and depending on the family quotient, to leave together. It mainly worries stays in facilities labeled with vacation (holiday villages, campsites, accommodation, etc.) and deals with part of the total cost, sometimes up to 80 % of the stay. The help is paid directly to the organization of the reception, which simplifies the procedures.

HELP ON HOLIDAY FOR CHILDREN (AVE)On the other hand, it is aimed at children aged 6 to 17. Finance Group remains during the school holidays: colonies, fields, sports or cultural internships. As for the AVF, the cure is partial and depends on the family quotient, but allows the child to leave even if his parents cannot. In some cases the transport costs are also covered.

Some CAF complete these aid with Leisure checksUsable to finance local activities or short stays nearby. These aid vary according to the territories, but everyone reaches the same goal: that free time and holidays are no longer a reserved luxury for some.

To take advantage of it, it is essential to connect to your personal space on CAF.FR or contact your departmental CAF. The eligibility depends on the family quotient calculated on January 1st e Some steps must be started several weeks in advance. Stays must be reserved for the partner facilities of the holiday system.

An approach to start now

The devices are there, but you still have to know that they exist and above all, they activate them in time. Most aid requires a file, a resource assessment or the use of a social worker. It is therefore essential to anticipate. July has started, but it is not too late: some stays can still be reserved and the help has been mobilized in an emergency.
