About Château du Tertre
Situated at the crossroads of Normandy, Brittany and the Loire, our residential centre, Château du Tertre is an ideal base for your Cubs and Scouts on a visit to France. They can explore the region, its history and culture and also enjoy adventure activities in the extensive centre grounds. Whether they’re abseiling, fencing, raft building or flying along the zip wire, all our activities are great for building confidence, teamwork and motivation in young people. You’ll receive a warm welcome from our friendly centre team who will ensure you get the most from your stay.
Facilities include a sports hall, boules pitches, games areas and a large screen for films, so there’s plenty to keep your group occupied in the evenings along with our supervised evening entertainment programmes.
Our cosy accommodation offers comfort and relaxation after an active day.

Food
Our centres in northern France offer a fantastic range of delicious food choices for you and your group to enjoy. We source fresh, regional produce whenever we can and you’ll always find a cultural flavour to our menus. Our aim is to ensure your group leaves feeling full and happy. If a member of your group has a specific dietary requirement or is particularly choosy about what they eat, we will always prepare something suitable. And if they’d like some more to eat, we can offer alternatives and extra food.
Encouraging healthy eating
You’ll always find a good selection of seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables on offer every day. A range of salads is available at lunch and dinner time and fresh fruit is available at every meal.
A Continental feel
We like to provide a balance by providing food which is familiar but also by giving you an opportunity to try food with a distinctly French flavour too – why not try some snails?
Enjoy your food
We strive to provide nutritious meals wherever you are eating them – as well as a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. So, whether you’re in the surroundings of our clean and pleasant dining rooms or on the banks of a river, enjoy your food with PGL!
