Previously a grand hotel and the base for The Brazilian World Cup team in the 1998 tournament, PGL’s flagship centre in France is an impressive building to say the least. Set in 70 acres of private grounds, Château de Grande Romaine employs over 40 members of #TEAMPGL.
As the base for our Northern France adventures, Chateau de Grande Romaine is home to an energised team of Tour Leaders! They get to spend their days in the beautiful city of Paris and leading excursions to other famous French attractions.

Sébastien,Centre Manager
Welcome to PGL Château de Grande Romaine! We work hard to create a safe, welcoming space where our young guests can learn, grow, and create lasting memories. I truly love working here because every day brings the opportunity to make a positive impact on young minds, helping them connect with new experiences and cultures.
Alan, Activities Team Leader
Working as an Activities Team Leader for the past year has been a wonderful experience—I’ve built lifelong friendships, met amazing people, and developed versatile skills.
Nabil, Tour Leader
Working at PGL is a great experience but also an incredible opportunity, the environment is fun and the people are lovely. It’s great experience working with kids and I can better my English as it’s not my first language.
Kevin, Animateur
I never imagined how much joy I’d find in being an Animateur. Each day I get to dive into new adventures with the kids, sharing laughter and creating moments that feel genuinely special. I've discovered a real boost in my confidence, communication and leadership skills, that have grown naturally from the challenges the role has given me and I'll carry them wherever life takes me.
