Set within the rolling vineyards of the Beaujolais wine region, this 16th Century Château has been wowing Contiki travellers for decades. It’s the perfect backdrop to long summer days lounging by the pool, capped off with French feasts, local wine and dancing the night away in ‘La Cave.’ But for me, the highlight of the Big Weekender had to be the pool party. DJs. Competitions. Freebies. Inflatable flamingoes. All the French fizz we could drink. What more could we ask for?
