We stay the whole week in the Hotel Le Villon. This way we can enjoy the best of the region without the hassle of packing up and moving on each day.
Staying in the same Hotel all week allows you, if you wish, to dip in and out of the walking programme
Walking programme:
Beaujolais is one of the world's best known wine regions but what is not so widely known are the secrets of the beautiful rolling countryside of the region. On this SportActive holiday you will get to sample all the delights of the region from the fine chateaux, the medieval castles, the famous Beaujolais villages and of course to indulge your passion for wine amongst some of the finest vineyards of the region.
The walks themselves are not strenuous but you still need to be moderately fit as distances range from 8 to 14 km per day. As with all SportActive holidays this is a holiday and not an endurance test. Along the way there will be ample opportunities for rest stops for refreshments plus opportunities to stop to look at the many interesting features along the way.
Some of the weeks highlights are:
Château Jarnioux
A château flanked by beautiful medieval round towers with panoramic views of the Beaujolais countryside. Inside much of the original has been preserved including the great hall and staircase, the prison and most of the original furniture.
Château Montmelas
Discover the French style gardens, the family chapel and tasting of vintage wine in the cellar.
Beaujolais Villages
The villages of Beaujolais have preserved many of their 15th and 16th century houses made of the local golden stones. Medieval fortresses of the 14th to 16th centuries and Gothic churches.
Beaujolais country vineyards
Family run businesses dating back two or three centuries and makers of some of the world's finest wines.
