Roche aux SabotsJet Set - 7AGraviton - 7AOn the corner of this block there is Elecubration http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=88539 which is worth a try if you're floundering on Graviton.L'Oblique - 7A (one of my first 7As in the forest - not too bad if you are reasonably dynamic)Le Jeu Du Toit - 7AL'Angle à Jean-Luc - 6CChapeau Chinois - 6BL'Auriculaire - 6ACul de ChienLe Toit du Cul de Chien - 7A 6C+
Family won't go to Cuvier and can't really blame them, it's not pleasant for them, nothing below orange and everything on that circuit hard, polished and some quite high. Saying that Duroxmanie is awesome but you'll need a spot.
Sa Pelle au Logis is another easy but good 7As in Gorge aux Chats. Enjoy :-) This reminds me - I haven't been to Font in AGES!

"Graviton is ok but the top holds work better on a cool day"Did this during the days it got 7B! The secret I seem to remember was moving slightly left to top out. Definitely made it feel more like soft 7A, than 7B
Apremont is pretty dreadfull to get around, especially with a family, "ju-jitsu" and "egoiste" area is alright if you have a good guidebook (not the old purple one). go along the low / old tarmac road, not along the high Grand-Randonneescience friction is a no go with a stroller.easy access and lots of problems: Franchard Isatis /And Franchard Cuisinere has many great problems also, though a bit further walk (have to park as for Isatis nowadays)
Agree with finbarr, Apremont is a bit of a jumble, not ideal with a pushchair and circuits are a bit scattered, I would put it low on the list.
Re Cuisiniere, it's a bit hilly beyond the area around Excalibur, hard with young kids, but there is a 7a arete Bizarre, Bizarre that's worth finding for a soft 7a tick.
Might just be me but I'd ditch the toit de cul de chien.Trying to cope with the hideous polish and struggling to avoid the recently chipped holds in order to get the 'historic' chipped holds just seemed pointless.
Some more suggestions/feedback IsatisSurplomb de la Coquille (Conquérance) - 6CThis is a bit of a trek behind Isatis (but worth it), probably worth leaving the family enscounced somewhere+ you can try Lapin ou Canard while over thereL'Angle du Sérac / L'angle Facial - 6B+You can also try t'other side of the arete, l'Angle Ben'sComposition des Forces 6c which is in the main area you get to is worth seeking out.CuisinereIf you get up into the main area (bit hilly/tricky with buggy as said), the two 'Moutons' are also good (5/6 pattes)If you go to do Duroxmanie, you should try Festin de Pierre as wellIf you're trying Gravitron you could also try the 7a to its left (Gravillon?), l'Oblique and Jeu de Toit
If you're mrs fancies going off for a circuit, you can offer to look After the littlun' and encamp yourself beneath beurre marga at isatis, should keep you busy for a while!

It look's a great problem but we'd only going there for that problem and my partner wants to see the Chien. Would free up time to skip it though!
