PGL thread

Why was the PGL thread deleted?

Oh yes, the Château de Grande Romaine thread. I remember that one very well.
Let’s be honest, it wouldn’t be surprising at all if PGL pushed to have it removed. Too many people were starting to speak openly about what’s really going on there.
There have been rumours for months that the centre is due to close by the end of the year or 2027, and apparently the only reason it hasn’t already gone the same way as the Australia centre is because of ongoing land issues.
It’s honestly sad watching what’s happened to PGL Paris. The management seems completely disconnected from the reality at the centre, and the decline is becoming impossible to hide. A TripAdvisor score sitting around 3.0 for what used to be one of their flagship centres says everything people need to know really.
The constant price cuts on the website also make it look like they’re desperately trying to fill beds and keep the numbers up. From the outside, it feels less like a long-term plan and more like they’re trying to make the business look attractive enough for a future buyer while the company keeps losing money.

Honestly, at this point I wouldn’t even be surprised if they closed the centre altogether. I recently visited Grande Romaine again after not being there for quite some time, and the decline is genuinely shocking. What used to feel like one of PGL’s flagship centres now feels tired, neglected and completely overstretched.
There were issues with food quality, visible mould and damp in some of the accommodation blocks, and a management team that feels completely disconnected from the reality on site; you see office staff comfortably inside while the activity staff are drowning outside trying to hold everything together.
The atmosphere now is nothing like what Grande Romaine used to be. Morale feels unbelievably low and many staff seem completely unsupported by senior management. When even long-standing managers who have been there for well over a decade openly talk every season about wanting to leave, it says a lot about the internal culture and how far things have fallen behind the scenes.
At this stage, PGL probably needs to stop pretending everything is fine, temporarily close the centre, properly invest in structural renovations, and rebuild the place from the ground up before the reputation damage becomes impossible to recover from. It’s a shadow of its former self.
