School trips in the Dombes, on the outskirts of Lyon
Located in Sainte-Croix, in the Dombes region between Lyon and Bourg-en-Bresse, the Domaine de Sainte-Croix is a holiday centre dedicated to hosting school groups. The estate offers an environment conducive to learning and to discovering nature.
Stays can be organised on a full-board or half-board basis. The resort offers classrooms, communal areas and privileged access to nature and heritage discovery activities.
In a magnificent setting, the château stands in the heart of an 11 ha wooded park (football pitch, heated swimming pool, multi-sports court, tennis, 6 ha of forest…). Just 35 minutes from Lyon, yet a complete change of scene. Quality catering, with taste education, short supply chains and fresh produce.
