—a castle wedding in an enchanting setting
What makes Champ-Renard the perfect place to celebrate a wedding?
Many couples dream of finding a reception venue that offers more than just basic services. Renting a castle for a wedding in Lyon adds an extra special touch to the event.
Our wedding venue is located in Blacé, not far from Mâcon, just 10 minutes from Villefranche-sur-Saône and about 35 minutes from Lyon. An ideal alternative to urban venues, Champ-Renard offers both accessibility and a change of scenery.
Much more than just luxurious venues, our château offers a truly unforgettable experience. Make your wedding a celebration of the art of living and heartfelt moments, while enjoying à la carte services.
The château’s architecture blends medieval and Neo-Gothic influences, all enhanced by a high-quality restoration. The superb English-style park features an avenue lined with hornbeams, a river, and a bamboo grove, all set within an authentic wine-growing environment.
Château de Champ-Renard can accommodate weddings of all sizes, from intimate receptions to large-scale events. We tailor the atmosphere, decor, and services to each couple’s preferences. Together, we’ll plan the wedding of your dreams: chic or rustic, contemporary or traditional…
Why choose the Champ-Renard estate for your wedding?
We rent out our banquet halls individually. You also have the option of reserving the entire castle for an exclusive wedding.
In a beautifully appointed setting, surrounded by nature and secluded from prying eyes, you’ll be able to share intimate and special moments with your guests. The property—including its indoor and outdoor spaces, as well as its charming guesthouses—is reserved exclusively for your event.
What venues are available at our wedding venue?
The outdoor areas consist of a 1.6-hectare park and a 400-square-meter esplanade. These two spaces are ideal for hosting a reception, a non-religious ceremony, or a brunch following the wedding. They also provide a charming backdrop for your wedding photos.
Inside the castle itself, there are two reception halls. The Salle de Garde can accommodate 180 guests for the wedding reception, while the Salle de Justice is suitable for the evening dance or the next morning’s breakfast. Upstairs, the castle’s lounges and their terrace can be reserved for preparations. Movement between these different areas is seamless, ensuring a smooth transition between the various stages of the event.
Finally, two beautiful apartments are available to accommodate the bride and groom and their loved ones (up to 12 people). In addition, we can recommend hotels and bed-and-breakfasts near the estate. This arrangement allows you to extend the festivities and makes logistics easier for your guests.
Champ-Renard ensures that your wedding at a castle is a unique, personalized, and memorable event.
