A seminar near Lyon in a prestigious setting, combining indoor and outdoor spaces

Located in the heart of the vineyards of our Beaujolais winery, the Champ-Renard estate features a stunning 19th-century English-style park and a hornbeam-lined path that’s perfect for hosting a buffet or cocktail party on sunny days, as well as team-building activities that we can organize for you between meetings.

For your seminar, the château offers 500 square meters of meeting space, tailored to your needs, the number of participants, and your preferred format.

There are five meeting rooms on the garden level: the Guard Room (200 m²), the Courtroom (100 m²), and three rooms ranging from 20 to 40 m² each, which can be used for subcommittees.

With its hardwood floors, exposed beams and stonework, and oak barrels behind an elegant floor-to-ceiling window, the Salle de Garde is equally suited for a conference or symposium as it is for a general meeting. It can also be arranged to accommodate several working groups.

Whether for a board meeting, a strategy session, or a business lunch with a client, our private lounges welcome you to an intimate and exclusive setting on the upper floor. Tastefully decorated with a blend of antiques and contemporary pieces by prestigious designers, they provide all the comfort and privacy you need while helping your team stay focused.

A quiet and authentic venue for your business meetings

Built in the 13th century, at the height of the Middle Ages, and converted into a winery in the 18th century, Champ-Renard has been renovated to incorporate all modern comforts while retaining its historic charm and authenticity.

Its lush green surroundings and charming interiors, along with our eco-friendly vineyard, make it the ideal unique seminar venue forhosting a professional event in the Lyon region focused on the environment, the art of living, or local culture. Or simply to inspire your employees by offering them the opportunity to work in an environment that fosters discussion and the exchange of ideas.

Depending on your needs and goals, our team will set up the private spaces accordingly: chairs, tables, whiteboards, screens, projectors, and more. On the day of the event, we’ll welcome you on-site and help you get settled so you feel right at home. We’ll then remain discreetly on hand to address your needs so you can focus on your goals.

Breakfast, lunch, or a buffet can be arranged on-site through our partnership with high-quality caterers, who will help you choose a menu tailored to both the occasion and the season.

Any group activities will be booked in advance and organized by us in collaboration with our partners: introductory workshops on wine tasting or cooking, sports challenges, hikes starting from the castle, escape games, or other fun, real-life challenges… We tailor our offerings to both your goals and your preferences!
