Where can you find a unique place to celebrate your birthday?
Located 30 minutes from Lyon and 10 minutes from the A6 highway (Villefranche-sur-Saône exit), the town of Blacé is home to a jewel of the Beaujolais region’s heritage. The Château de Champ-Renard, with its eight centuries of history and impeccable restoration, is now a renowned venue for events and a wine estate.
This unique birthday venue is very easy to reach by car, and it’s also close to the TGV stations in Lyon and Mâcon, as well as Lyon-Saint-Exupéry Airport. It’s the perfect place to bring together your loved ones, even if they’re coming from far away—they can even spend the night in one of the castle’s rooms.
