Young children really can feel like little Princes and Princesses this summer at Chateau des Vigiers in the Dordogne,  France.  Powder Byrne are launching their new operation and programmes with full service at this glorious chateau located in the Perigord region which is famous for its ancient history, rich culture,  just a 25 minute drive from Bergerac. This classic French chateau is set in a stunning estate and offers a wide range of activities and choice of accommodation, suitable for families.

Powder Byrne are the specialists when it comes to travelling with very young children. They understand the concerns young parents have about travelling with toddlers in tow, but equally know how important it is for families to get away, to spend precious time all together and for parents to have some time to relax and re-charge their batteries.  The Chateau is ideal for a family break, easily accessible by plane to Bordeaux or by car, or as a convenient stop-over en route to the South of France. 

Powder Byrne will be operating their kids programmes for younger children  – pb crèche (4mths to 3 years) and Scallywags (4 – 8 years) -  and their full resort service at Chateau des Vigiers in August. The Powder Byrne team in London and at Chateau des Vigiers are there to ensure parents leave all anxieties at home – for those making use of the pb crèche facilities, they will receive a call from the pb crèche manager prior to departure to check on any special requirements and routines so that for baby, it is a home from-home-experience when abroad. Older siblings participating in Scallywags programme will have the time of their lives meeting new friends in this action-packed programme making full use of all the Chateau's facilities – pools, golf, tennis, lake and river activities, snooker and active games.

With its superb Michelin starred restaurants, spas, pools and golf course, this offers parents too an alternative style of holiday, but delivering all the luxury and service expected when travelling with Powder Byrne.  

The chateau has three types of accommodation; choose between the main Chateau building, which has the feel of a traditional country house and the more family friendly modern Relais building with modern spacious rooms or the apartment style Dépendances Suites.

Powder Byrne are committed to ensuring you have the best service whilst on holiday. Prices from £1,099 per person for 7 nights in August on B&B basis. Includes exclusive price of 7 nights for the price of 6, and luxury transfers. Flights are quoted for separately.
