Food and Wine in a French Chateau

Today in Lyon, we'll be joined by a Lyonnaise local who's passionate about their city... and its recipes. That's right, today is the perfect tourism & food combo - we'll walk the streets, sample local dishes and discover Lyon's best food spots. You'll be feeling like a local in no time.

Villefranche-sur-Saone: The wait is over. Find your new Contiki crew and be driven in style by one of our Trip Managers through the gorgeous Beaujolais wine region to the Contiki chateau.

Beaujolais: Time to settle in and get to know your new BFFs - whilst learning about locally produced wine and cheese (and of course, taste it too)!

Beaujolais Wine Region: Set within the rolling hills of the Beaujolais wine region, the legendary Contiki Château special stay has been wowing travellers for decades. From the luxe bar to the elegant new bedrooms, our Château is 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.’

Beaujolais: Clear out the cobwebs and get in touch with you zen side with a guided yoga session on the sweeping lawns of the château.
