Since 1999 I have rented Le Chateau de Varennes 11 times, for both friends and family and, more recently, business clients. The Chateau itself is truly a gem - a beautiful, expansive property in a fantastically tranquil location within easy driving distance of Beaune, The Cote D’Or, Dijon and The Jura. All of the grand reception rooms are wonderfully authentic, whilst the bedrooms are by turns grand, cozy or delightfully individual. The state-of-the-art swimming pool and pool house completes a holiday or business entertaining experience I couldn’t recommend more highly.
I just wanted to write and say a big 'Thank You' for everything over the weekend. You have such a beautiful Chateau and it was the perfect place to celebrate not just my 30th birthday, but also my engagement to Catherine! We all had a wonderful time, and hope to return next year. Many thanks and all the best.
We came in a family of 10 and found this marvelous castle to rest and visit beautiful Burgundy. The castle met all of our expectations and desires. The woods and surroundings are enchanted. We will tell our friends to experience it.
We have had such a fantastic week with our friends at this incredible chateau. The cook and the houseboy have been great, the food delicious, the pool warm and fun, the bed very comfortable. What more would you want? Hopefully we shall return!
Wonderful! We are so excited to see them. It does feel like a dream. I keep pinching myself! Thank you so much for all of your help in organizing our special day. Thank you, thank you, thank you...
We received the photos and video yesterday. We had a wonderful time looking through all of it. They are just fantastic! Thank you so much for connecting us to such talented people. I have a feeling that you will have many other wonderful weddings at your property.
The photos that I have seen so far are beautiful! Many thanks to all of you. Your hard work shows, and I will never forget our amazing time at the chateau!

The chateau has recently been revamped, adding a touch of contemporary luxury to historic buildings and antique furniture. The entire chateau has wi-fi and the satellite TV has channels from around the world.
With high ceilings and extra-large windows, the huge reception areas are flooded with light and provide luxurious samples of the 18th Century taste for beauty and comfort. The kitchens are comprehensively equipped with high-quality professional equipment. This is the perfect place for a cooking retreat, especially if you hire the professional chef from the chateau. Lunch is usually served in the outdoor dining area (close to the pool). There are two further dining rooms inside the chateau.
The chateau can accommodate 35+ guests in its 18 bedrooms. The largest double rooms of 40+ sqm are equipped with ultra-king size beds (200x200cm) that can easily be transformed into twins. All beds are brand new and very comfortable. Two cots and baby equipment can be provided upon request.
The swimming pool is secured with a safety cover and a new pool house has recently been added with a small kitchen and an additional shower room. The chateau is located in 40 hectares of private parkland with French style gardens and woods, allowing guests to feel totally secluded. There are many beautiful walks in and around the local area and this offers great opportunity for bird spotting. Shooting can also be organized on request.
