Fontager Sporting Club offers optimal comfort thanks to its changing rooms and sanitary facilities, and the padel court, lit at night, allows you to extend your sporting sessions in ideal conditions.

After the exertion, the experience continues with a meal at the Château: lunch at Bistro or in the evening at Chant de la Source, by reservation by phone or email, for a break combining gastronomy and relaxation.

Le Château de Fontager affirms its local roots by participating in the sporting activities of the region, from Tain-l'Hermitage to Tournon-sur-Rhône, extending to the Saint-Vallier – Sarras – Laveyron area. This commitment is notably realized through a partnership with the Saint-Vallier Sarras Laveyron Tennis Club.

Thanks to this collaboration, the tennis courts are also accessible to club members at a preferential rate, as well as to all licensed players, making the Fontager Sporting Club a benchmark for high-end sports in the region.
