Her mother famously sang about the importance of taking a holiday.

The teenager is there with her 55-year-old mother's younger boyfriend Timor Steffens, 26 and a group of other family friends. Madonna's son Rocco was also there but wasn't pictured.

Lourdes also accessorised with a series of beads and necklaces - but shunned the chance to wear goggles. A move she later regretted.

The family are enjoying a holiday in the South of France in the run-up to Madonna's 56th birthday on August 16.
The singer's latest boyfriend is almost three decades younger than the mother-of-four. But at least he is older than her two previous boyfriends.
In December, she split from French dancer Brahim Zaibat, 25, whom she had been dating since 2010. Before that, she dated Brazilian model and DJ Jesus Luz, who was just 22 at the time.
