The charm of a historic estate for a luxury seminar

Whether you want to motivate your staff, provide training for your team, hold small-group strategy meetings, or host your clients or shareholders, the Château de Champ-Renard can be tailored to your needs thanks to its various spaces and offers you a setting that is as unique as it is authentic.

Located 35 minutes from Lyon, 1 hour and 50 minutes from Geneva, and 2 hours and 15 minutes from this medieval building constructed in the 13th century, this Beaujolais château has evolved over the centuries without ever losing its character. A medieval structure built in the 13th century, transformed into a wine estate in 1765, and then extensively renovated in the 19th century—when the château took on its current form—Champ-Renard is a place where local and broader history converge, as well as the French art of living.

Once dedicated to the strategic defense against enemies coming from the east and west, Champ-Renard has welcomed a famous royal squire (Jean Agnot) as well as a U.S. president—then serving as ambassador—who was passing through the region (Thomas Jefferson), and its development is directly linked to the winemaking tradition that has made the region famous both in France and internationally.

This history is directly reflected in the architecture of the grounds—from the medieval tower in the Guard Room with its pointed-arch windows and mullions, to our English-style park with its artificial stream, rock-style bridge, and century-old hornbeam arbor.

The interior, completely renovated and furnished to offer you all the modern comforts you’d expect for a business seminar (including free high-speed Wi-Fi), has been decorated to reflect its unique character, blending timeless charm with modernity: polished hardwood floors, exposed beams and stonework, furniture carefully restored by local artisans to preserve its history, and contemporary pieces by renowned designers…

Everything is designed to create a magical retreat, perfect for both concentration and relaxation in a unique setting.
