EASTENDERS star James Farrar has taken some time off from Albert Square to indulge in a picturesque family vacation in the heart of France. Known for his role as Zack Hudson on the popular soap, James gave fans a glimpse into his serene holiday. The actor, along with his wife and their young daughter, stopped off in the French countryside as part of their idyllic retreat.
Sharing a series of vlogs on social media, James highlighted the charm and tranquility of their getaway to Troyes. One of his highlights of the trip was a dinner date with his wife in the renowned Champagne region. Once their little girl (aptly named Summer) fell asleep, the married couple finally found themselves able to enjoy a rare romantic meal.
James's wife Ali told followers: "After the easiest journey we had the audacity to think we could walk our little one to sleep in the buggy while we toured the town, and then have a rare dinner just the two of us chatting without chasing a two year old around between each bite. "But our little one had other ideas - 'I'm not tireeddddd'. "Two hours later and we knew Troyes like the backs of our hands, the restaurants were all closing or taking last orders and we couldn't find anywhere to eat.
"We walked past a dominos and thought grimly to ourselves, 'we just can't do it! We're in France for God's sake!' "So we persevered. Another lap of the square, a few more 'moon river's (her lullaby du jour) and she drifted off..
. We did it! "Yes we were eating at 10pm, yes it.
