Our base for this wonderful, relaxed bridge holiday is the hugely popular and charming Château des Comtes de Challes. Overlooking mountain peaks and valley in Savoy, this original 15th-century château has been lovingly restored to reflect its history by the family Treves, who will proudly welcome you into their home. We play bridge in the delightful Granier Room of the Orangerie and dine with fine wine on the hotel terraces.
Set in 2 hectares of its own land, you can enjoy the peaceful surroundings and ancient trees and be mesmerised by the stunning views from the hotel terraces as you relax by the outdoor pool. An excursion to the historic town of Chambery is included on market day. We also include a full day tour to Annecy, the Venice of the Alps, where we enjoy a guided tour of this old town, crossed by numerous canals and bridges, and take a cruise on the lake. Not to be missed is our wine tasting in the cellars of the château.
Bridge team shown are for 2025 departure. Bridge team for 2026 departure are to be confirmed.

Your Bridge Programme
Play & Explore holidays are suited to intermediate players who wish to learn new skills, and regular players looking for a relaxed holiday with bridge.
Our bridge programmes will vary according to the length of your break, and, in addition to playing bridge, our host will aim to include interactive bridge seminars.
Your duplicate bridge will be available every evening between 7:45pm and 11:15pm. We endeavour to vary these evening sessions, balancing between teams and pairs and playing relaxed and friendly bridge.
Bridge will also be offered some afternoons between 2:30pm and 4:45pm. These sessions are normally given over to open pairs/teams.
Masterpoints are awarded on evening sessions, and on day sessions with over 5 tables.
During your bridge holiday, nothing is obligatory, and you can play in as many or as few bridge sessions as you wish. We don’t forget you are on holiday and our bridge programmes also allow time to relax, giving the opportunity for you to explore the surrounding area.
Alternatively, if you have made your own travel arrangements, we will meet you at the hotel.
We include a welcome meeting followed by a wine tasting in the château cellars on day 2.
Chambery (Day 3)
We visit the old town of Chambery, enjoying a guided tour of this historic city high in the French Alps. You will then have time at leisure to explore the alleyways and sights and to shop in the weekly market
Annecy with Lake Cruise (Day 6)
We spend our sixth day surrounded by breathtaking Alpine scenery in Annecy, known as Venice of the Alps. On our morning guided walking tour, you will discover many interesting buildings including the imposing 12th-century Palais de L’Isle, situated in the middle of the River Thiou, as we wander through the old town crossed by numerous canals. During the afternoon, enjoy a boat cruise on the lake before returning to port for free time in Annecy centre.
Alternatively, if you have made your own travel arrangements, you will check out of the hotel and make your own way home.
You will stay for 7 nights at the Château des Comtes de Challes.
Ideally located for touring the French Alps, the hotel is only five miles from the town of Chambery and a short walk takes you to the small resort of Challes-les-Eaux, with spa, cafés and shops. The hotel is comprised of three buildings, built around a courtyard which retains much of its original character; with antique artefacts and beautifully furnished public rooms. The hotel has been lovingly restored with the period fireplace and exposed beams in the dining room. Enjoy fine traditional cuisine, where the emphasis is on local produce, or relax by the outdoor pool and on the terrace, which affords magnificent views over the valley and surrounding countryside. The hotel also has its own private chapel and boasts well-appointed rooms which, in keeping with the château, all vary in size and style. The château also has its own historic wine cellar.
