Luxury French Chateau

Named by CNN among the top ten best wedding venues worldwide, the Château de Varennes sur le Doubs is a luxury estate to hire for family holidays, weddings, corporate functions or other special events. Located in the sunny South Eastern part of France amidst the finest vineyards of Beaune in Burgundy, the property is belonging to the same family for 400 years and was recently fully refurbished by a famous designer team. We have all the modern comfort and many activities are possible on-site (a brand new tennis court, a big outdoor pool (heated if necessary), swings/kids playground, ping-pong, cooking classes, floral design, gardening, oenology etc) and we are located in a beautiful region known for great sightseeing and producing the finest wines in the world.

If you would like to get a better idea of the property, you can watch this video of the chateau tour.

We are specialist of destination weddings and we can host intimate events as well as big functions (check the reception venue section for a description of our event facilities). Outdoor weddings are often possible as South Burgundy is enjoying a warm and sunny weather from Spring to Autumn (our pool is open from March to October). We are also offering the kind of services that you would expect in a boutique hotel or a modern luxury resort (private chef, airport transfers, concierge services etc.).
