France - Le Château

*prices based on a minimum 40 passengers per departure

An ideal destination for your first international experience for all age groups, this spectacular 19th century French Country House provides a fantastic setting for your tour. Set in four hectares of its own private grounds, this tranquil destination is within easy reach of all the exciting attractions and beautiful sandy beaches of the Opal Coast. Why not try your hand at sand yachting, or join in with the number of different team sports run on the nearby beaches?

With your coach staying with you throughout your visit, your group can explore the delights of the Opal Coast, with its many beaches, or venture into a new country as you head towards Belgium. If city life is more your thing, why not venture into the heart of Paris where you can experience world famous sights such as the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur. For the more thrill seeking, a trip to Disneyland Resort Paris is a must, whilst a visit to the battlefields of WWI and WWII creates a lasting impression for all. With so many possibilities within reach of Le Chateau, you’re sure to have an exciting and varied excursion programme.
