The Champ-Renard estate welcomes professionals looking for an event venue near Lyon to host banquets, corporate cocktail parties, seminars, press conferences, product launch parties, and more…
Our Beaujolais château, nestled among the vineyards and located just 35 minutes from Lyon, is an ideal setting for your business events.
Enjoy personalized service for an event tailored to your needs—one that is meaningful and takes place in a venue steeped in history, embodying the French art of living.
Organizing professional events is a subtle art: beyond the decisions required to define a theme and the sequence of activities, the venue itself must be meaningful. It is, in fact, the setting that will help create the right atmosphere and convey your values.
With over 800 years of history, the Château de Champ-Renard is the perfect setting to showcase your brand and create an exclusive atmosphere for your employees or guests.
Built during the Middle Ages and restored to provide comfortable, modern living while preserving its heritage, this former fortified house is situated in the heart of a vast estate comprising a 1.6-hectare English-style park with a rockery bridge and an artificial stream, a winemaking facility where we produce our wines, and 7.5 hectares of vineyards surrounding the château.
This makes it easy for you to organize a memorable event centered around themes such as nature, the environment, innovation, history, gastronomy, luxury, and the art of living, among others.
On sunny days, you can host a cocktail party or an outdoor banquet on the castle’s esplanade (whose façade lights up after dark) or in our century-old arbor-lined path. Our outdoor spaces can also host team-building activities, such as a giant escape game or sports activities.
Our château’s versatile reception halls and private lounges welcome you year-round across nearly 500 square meters in a warm and refined atmosphere that blends modern and timeless touches.
The interior spaces at Champ-Renard consist of five ground-floor reception rooms with views of the park and vineyards, as well as several lounges and private rooms.
The 200-square-meter Guard Room exudes elegance: with its exposed-stone vaulted ceiling, sophisticated lighting, polished concrete, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a boudoir in the adjoining medieval tower, it is a warm and authentic space. Its view of our oak barrels and casks adds a unique touch, making it ideal for a product launch, a convention, or a cocktail party.
The adjacent courtroom is a 100-square-meter space that can accommodate a buffet with a bar, a seminar, a conference, and more…
Three rooms, each ranging from 20 m² to 40 m², are ideal for subcommittees.
The grand living room, decorated with works of art selected by the castle's owners and furnished with antique pieces and works by French and Italian designers.
The paneled room with red drapes is perfect for a board meeting or a business dinner, with its large table and elegant decor.
The gallery, with its bookshelves, antique books, and contemporary lighting fixtures, is the perfect setting for your executive meeting or training session.
The pool table, with its “British” decor, is the perfect place to take a well-deserved break between work sessions.
The small lounge located in the tower, with its very intimate decor, is the perfect spot for your business breakfast.
Finally, by renting the castle exclusively, you can enjoy the venue all to yourself.
Château de Champ-Renard offers top-tier service for a custom-tailored event: you’ll work directly with the castle’s owners to organize your seminar or corporate event, and their team will be there to support you and meet your needs, including on the day of the event.
.
You can either let us handle the organization of your event or take care of it yourself; in the latter case, we’ll simply rent you the spaces you need.
We’ll advise you before you book the venue to help you select the spaces best suited for a business breakfast, a training weekend, a product launch party, and more. All our rooms are equipped to meet your needs (screens, projectors, tables, chairs, etc.), and your meals or cocktail receptions are designed in close collaboration with our partner caterers. We can advise you on food and wine pairings and offer you the château’s own wines. Accommodations are available in the château’s two apartments (four double rooms), as well as at a boutique hotel and bed-and-breakfasts located 5–10 minutes from our estate.
Finally, if you’d like to offer your guests a specific type of activity (cooking class, wine-tasting workshop, escape room, etc.), we’ll take care of everything!
