These Contiki Chateau photos are guaranteed to give you the summer feels

The legendary Contiki Chateau is a rite of passage for many. Ours since 1977, it's served hundreds and thousands of travellers from all over the world, and is responsible for countless fancy dress misdemeanours, and many happy memories. Here are some of our favourite photos...

THAT POOL IN SUMMER...

Remember lounging around here on a nice sunny day in summer?

Can't believe it's finally over, one more day of calling this beautiful old place home before we head off. It has been an absolutely incredible six months, thousands of people met and memories made, countless P-Parties attended and a whole lot of ice tropez drunken. Thank you to everyone who made this season so amazing, it's been a blast. I'm really going to miss waking up in this place every day and of course I'm really going to miss my little French family! ? @barbarikan @samuelarikan @contiki #contikichateau #contiki #chatsathome #beaujolais #lyon #france #homesweethome #onsite
