Machine du Vin (South of France, Aug/Sep 2018)

by Travel Classifieds

What

Machine du Vin is a magical three-day, music, wine, food and arts festival. The spectacular takes place on the grounds of an ancient medieval chateau in the romantic rural village of Camon in Southern France this summer. Everyone is welcome.

Where

Machine du Vin - Chateau de Camon

L’Abbaye Château de Camon

Camon is a tiny and spectacular village between Toulouse & Narbonne in the South of France which many believe isas the most beautiful village in all France. The festival takes place in the heart of the village, in fields surrounding L’Abbaye Chateau de Camon.

Camon is appealingly remote yet it is still remarkably easy to access from most major ports in Europe. Flights into Toulouse take less than two hours from London, Amsterdam or Berlin and less than one hour from Paris, Barcelona, Geneva or Nice.

France’s high speed trains take six hours in comfort from Paris or Barcelona across some of the most picturesque countryside on the planet.

From Toulouse airport or train station, rent a car or jump on one of our Machine du Vin buses direct to the festival (and back at the end).

When
