A lush setting, distinctive architecture, and tasteful decor: every detail contributes to making your ceremony at the castle a truly unique experience.
Outdoor spaces filled with magic
Built in the Middle Ages, the Château de Champ-Renard has undergone numerous renovations to achieve its current appearance. A high-quality renovation has preserved the building’s elegance and authenticity. At the foot of the castle, a 400-square-meter esplanade is the perfect setting for a reception or group photos.
Surrounded by 7 hectares of vineyards, the château stands in the middle of a 16,000 m² English-style park. The grounds feature a path lined with century-old hornbeams, an artificial stream spanned by a small bridge, and a bamboo grove. This peaceful setting is perfect for a secular wedding, a rustic cocktail party, or a romantic stroll. Two pétanque courts provide a pleasant way to round out the day.
Luxury interior spaces
Flanked by the North Tower, the last remaining vestige of the castle’s medieval era, the Guard Room is ideal for hosting a wedding reception for up to 180 guests. Whether set up for a cocktail reception or a buffet, this beautiful space with stone vaults can accommodate 250 people.
The Courtroom, for its part, has a capacity of 72 seats and 120 standing spots. It connects directly to the Reception Hall, allowing you, for example, to move seamlessly from dinner to the dance party.
Upstairs, a variety of intimate spaces await you. The four Salons du Marquis, each with its own private balcony, are perfect for wedding preparations. This part of the château also allows the bride and groom to spend some time together in privacy and enjoy a few moments of respite during the festivities. The designer furnishings, the billiard table, and the library lend these spaces a subdued elegance.
